## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the Passenger Transport Services 2026, specifically focusing on route-based provision for 1-8 seat passenger transportation. This contract, classified under the services category, covers significant locations such as Northampton and Peterborough, within the UKF24 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached completion with the contract awarded to City Rides Northampton, effective from 3rd August 2026, and set to last until 22nd December 2026. The procurement method employed was of limited competition, as it was below the threshold, with a total contract value of £31,548.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in transport services to engage with public sector contracts, especially small to large enterprises looking to expand within the passenger transport industry. The limited competition nature implies that while the competition was restrained, securing such a contract can establish a foothold or expand existing operations in the public transport sector. Companies equipped with resources for short to medium range passenger routes, particularly those aligned with government transport requirements, would find this contract a strategic asset for business growth.
