## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has recently completed a contracting process for "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)". This procurement falls under the services category and was awarded on the 13th of July, 2026. The contract covers transport services specifically related to small route-based passenger services. MS CARS, a supplier based in Northampton, was awarded the contract under a limited competition procurement method, which indicates it was run below the threshold with restricted tendering. The contract's period was active from the 1st of July to the 26th of July, 2026, with a total value of £58,000. This fell within the Light Touch Regime, as part of a special procurement regime, and focused on services related to transportation, excluding waste transportation.

This tender provides robust opportunities for businesses in the transportation sector looking to expand their service offerings. Small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those based locally in Northampton or its surrounding areas, may find such contracts particularly advantageous. The contract aligns well with companies that specialise in passenger transport services using small to medium-sized vehicles. Moreover, businesses seeking to get involved in government contracts that operate under specific procurement conditions like the Light Touch Regime could benefit immensely by targeting similar opportunities initiated by sub-central governmental authorities like West Northamptonshire Council.
