Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based provision using vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. This requirement covers one passenger travelling with a personal assistant, with transport provided every day between Ashby Road, Daventry, and Summerfield School on Downley Avenue, Bradwell Common, Milton Keynes. The morning journey leaves Daventry at 07:40 and reaches the school at 08:35; the return journey leaves the school at 15:15 and reaches Daventry at 16:01. The service is intended for regular school transport on this specified route. The work is classified as transport services and is delivered across Daventry and Milton Keynes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one route. Star Cab Daventry Limited was awarded the contract on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 2 September 2026 to 29 August 2027. Its value is £742.90. West Northamptonshire Council set a starting price for the contract. The award covers the single route-based passenger transport requirement described above. The published evaluation basis is the outcome of the limited competition; no further award criteria or scoring details are provided in the procurement record.

This award shows demand from West Northamptonshire Council for low-capacity, route-specific school transport rather than general fleet provision. Suppliers positioned for similar work would need to organise a daily home-to-school and return service, carry a single passenger alongside a personal assistant, and reliably meet fixed morning and afternoon timings over a defined route between Daventry and Milton Keynes. A credible competitor would need practical experience of passenger transport, dependable availability for every scheduled journey, and the operational discipline to maintain punctual service on school days. Small vehicle operators and local transport businesses with route-planning capability are the closest fit, particularly those able to support a single-passenger arrangement consistently.
