## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has successfully awarded a contract for its 'WNC Marketing Campaign 2026/27 - Buses for You', intended to boost bus travel within the region. The procurement falls under the advertising and marketing services category and is designated for the UK's East Midlands area, specifically Northampton. The award process began with a tender, and on 20 April 2026, the contract was signed with GO TRAVEL SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The contract, valued at £75,000, is set to commence on 1 September 2026 and will continue through 31 March 2027, with an option for renewal until September 2027. It employs a 'below threshold' procurement method, indicating a focus on smaller-scale projects suitable for SMEs.

The 'Buses for You' campaign provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses engaged in advertising and marketing services. Companies offering innovative solutions to enhance public transport usage, particularly bus travel, would find this project highly beneficial. Given the contract value and targeted regional impact, small to medium-sized enterprises specialising in creative campaign strategies and public engagement would be well-suited to contribute effectively. This contract represents an opportunity not only to grow in the sector but also to establish credibility with local government bodies.

## Notice
