UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based journey using a vehicle suitable for one to eight seats. The service carries one passenger, accompanied by their mother acting as a personal assistant, with no additional collection required. The scheduled journey runs on Thursdays from Hawksmoor Way, Northampton, to Seeds of Change at The Acorn Centre, Little Acorn Farm, Newland Road, Walgrave, Northampton, and returns to Hawksmoor Way. The outbound journey is scheduled for 09:01 to 09:30, with the return from 10:45 to 11:12. This is a local passenger transport requirement covering Northampton and Walgrave, classified as transport services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Skyline Taxis Limited was selected for the route. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026, with an awarded contract value of £4,400 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 25 July 2027, and the contract is recorded as active. The procedure was a limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot covered the route-based one-to-eight-seat passenger transport service. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and contract value; no separate award scoring basis is recorded.

This requirement indicates recurring demand from West Northamptonshire Council for dependable, scheduled assisted passenger transport on a defined local route. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established passenger transport or taxi operators able to provide one-to-eight-seat vehicles, maintain punctual morning and return journeys, and handle a passenger travelling with a personal assistant. Credibility would depend on reliable operations in Northampton and surrounding villages, route planning, driver availability on Thursdays, and the capacity to meet fixed collection and destination times without additional collections. The completed award also shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for a small, route-specific transport service rather than a large general fleet contract.
