UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has concluded the procurement process for its "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)," focusing on the transportation of individuals with specific social, emotional, and communication needs. This contract, valued at £80,000, operates out of Northampton and covers various locations such as Brackley, Silverstone, and Towcester. The procurement, categorized under transport services and employing a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature, moved through the tender initiations and has now reached the award stage. The contract was signed on 4th August 2026, with active operations scheduled from 2nd September 2026 to 23rd July 2028.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing route-based transportation for up to eight passengers. Companies with expertise in accommodating passengers with social and communication difficulties are especially well-positioned to benefit. The focus on a tailored, light-touch regime within the public authority's framework presents an attractive growth avenue for local and specialised service providers, encouraging them to engage with public sector opportunities and expand their service offerings in the Northamptonshire area.
