UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has concluded the procurement of a contract titled "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)" in the public authority sub-central government sector. Located in Northampton, UK, the contract involves providing transport services for specific routes at designated times primarily related to social, emotional, and mental health support for children. The procurement process fell under a limited method due to being below the threshold, thereby adopting a light-touch regime to ensure competitive fairness. The contract was awarded and signed on 4th August 2026, with an active period from 2nd September 2026 to 23rd July 2028, valued at GBP 60,000.

This tender presents growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services. Companies with expertise in providing efficient and reliable passenger transport solutions in compliance with local government requirements could significantly benefit. With a focus on routes for supporting social and emotional needs, firms experienced in catering to special transport needs would be advantageous. The contract offers a stable, two-year service assignment within the Northampton area, ideal for local SMEs looking to expand their client base in transport provision for public authorities.
