## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)" with a focus on transport services for social and emotional difficulties. The procurement was conducted under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, utilising a "limited" procurement method. This tender involved a route-based passenger transport service, starting and ending at different locations in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, with a contract period from 2nd September 2026 to 23rd July 2028. The contract, carrying a gross value of £90,000, was awarded to H2S Cars Ltd on 1st August 2026, and the project falls under the light-touch regime with limited competition due to its below-threshold nature.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing small passenger transport services, particularly those specialising in solutions for individuals with social and emotional challenges requiring special considerations such as booster seats. Companies similar to H2S Cars Ltd, which has been successfully awarded this contract, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, given the specialised nature of the services and the geographical focus around Northamptonshire and nearby regions. Establishing relationships with public authorities such as West Northamptonshire Council could lead to future business development prospects in public transport solutions.
