## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured route-based passenger transport services for vehicles carrying between one and eight people. The requirement is classified as transport services and is intended to provide passenger journeys on specified routes for the council. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, based in Northampton, and the work relates to its local passenger transport provision. The selected supplier, Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd, is also based in Northampton. This is a service opportunity for businesses operating small-vehicle passenger transport, taxi or private-hire services, particularly those able to organise reliable route-based journeys within West Northamptonshire and serve council-managed transport requirements.

The procurement has been completed and one supplier was selected for the single route-based requirement. West Northamptonshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and awarded to Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd. The contract is active from 2 September 2026 to 23 July 2028. Its published value is £1 GBP. The contract covers passenger transport services based on the one-to-eight-seat provision. The tender had one lot, and its status is complete. The recorded outcome shows the selected supplier holding the active award for the passenger transport requirement.

This procurement demonstrates local council demand for route-based passenger transport using vehicles with capacity for one to eight people. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable small-vehicle transport, organise journeys against specified routes and maintain the operational capacity to deliver a council service consistently. Local presence in Northampton or the surrounding West Northamptonshire area would be commercially relevant because the buyer and selected supplier are both based in Northampton. The successful business is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the requirement can suit an established operator with sufficient vehicles, drivers, scheduling capability and service-management capacity for recurring council passenger transport.
