West Northamptonshire Council has concluded a procurement process for Passenger Transport Services 2026, specifically focused on route-based transportation for 1-8 seat provision. The contract, initiated through a tender process and now at the award stage, falls under the services category and involves limited competition as per the procurement method details. The service is to be provided in Northampton, under the classification of sub-central government public authority. The award was made to ACTIVE NORTH CARS, with the contract valued at £42,990, running from 2nd September 2026 to 23rd July 2028.
