This tender is categorized under transport services and was carried out under a "limited" procurement method due to being below the threshold for competitive tendering. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded on 22nd July 2026. The contract is active and is scheduled to start from 1st September 2026, concluding on 25th July 2027.

Ideal candidates would be SMEs capable of providing light touch services in this domain. With the contract having been awarded to Harrisons Private Hire Ltd, an SME based in Northampton, other local businesses operating passenger transport services could consider similar ventures to expand their service offerings.
