Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by West Northamptonshire Council, pertains to the contract titled "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)." This contract focuses on transportation services within the sub-central government industry category, and is specifically located in Northampton, United Kingdom. This process has reached the award stage, with Skyline Taxis Limited named as the supplier. The contract, awarded on 29 July 2026, is slated to commence on 3 September 2026 and end on 25 July 2027. This limited competition procurement method is below the threshold, adhering to the light-touch regime, characterized by meticulous route-based specifications and scheduled operations during term time.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those equipped to manage specific route-based operations with 1-8 seat provisions.
