Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process for "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)" focusing on providing transport services within Northampton, UK. This contract is categorised under transport services, excluding waste transport, and involves a route-based service with provisions for specific seating arrangements. The service is set to commence from 3rd September 2026 and will run until 23rd July 2028. The procurement method was limited, aligning with "Below threshold - limited competition" directives under the light-touch regime.
