UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured area-based passenger transport services for 2026. The requirement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. The work is associated with the council’s transport provision across its area, with the contracting authority based in Northampton. The procurement covered one completed service lot. Star Cab Daventry Limited, based in Daventry, was the selected supplier. This opportunity is relevant to businesses providing passenger transport services for public authorities, particularly operators able to organise and deliver area-based transport rather than supplying vehicles or unrelated logistics services. It may suit taxi, private-hire, community transport or other passenger transport operators, subject to the detailed service requirements used by the council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Star Cab Daventry Limited. The award is active and the contract was signed on 3 September 2026, with a contract period from 4 September 2026 to 20 September 2026. The recorded contract value is £0.01 including and excluding VAT, in GBP. The published information identifies transport services as the contracted category. The process used limited competition rather than an open procedure, so participation was restricted to invited or otherwise selected suppliers. The outcome demonstrates that the council evaluated competing suppliers and selected Star Cab Daventry Limited for the area-based passenger transport requirement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for passenger transport operators tracking West Northamptonshire Council’s requirements. The council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for a short, area-based transport service, so a credible future competitor would need to monitor the council’s procurement activity and be prepared to respond through a restricted process rather than relying only on open tender opportunities. Relevant capability is the practical delivery of passenger transport services within West Northamptonshire, supported by suitable vehicles, drivers, scheduling and operational management. Operators based in or able to serve the Daventry and wider Northamptonshire area may be well placed to demonstrate local coverage and responsiveness. Businesses should also be ready to evidence reliable service delivery and the capacity to mobilise quickly for short-term requirements.
