## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract for the 94 bus service to CommMiniBus Ltd, aimed at ensuring the viability of this public road transport service. The procurement process, categorised under services within the public road transport sector, was conducted through direct tendering with a single tender action approach, given its below-threshold status. The project is set in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 2nd October 2024, with a value of £43,010, and will be executed between 4th November 2024 and 28th March 2025. The process has reached the award stage, with all necessary approvals and documentation finalised.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing robust transport solutions in the East Midlands. While primarily aimed at larger companies, given the absence of specific encouragement for SMEs or VCSEs, other businesses with a substantial provision capacity in the public transport sector might find similar opportunities advantageous. Entities with existing service provision infrastructure or partnerships in local transportation will find themselves well-suited to similar future tenders. Contracting with governmental bodies like North Northamptonshire Council offers stability and can enhance a company’s reputation, thereby facilitating further growth and broader market engagement.
