## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a passenger transport service for one route serving a passenger with social, emotional and mental health needs. The requirement is for a vehicle carrying between one and eight passengers, with a passenger assistant, and includes provision of an electric Snappi Buggy or an Action Junior 3 for the wheelchair user. The specified journey runs between Winston Crescent in Brackley, Hawker Way in Northampton and Fairfields School on Trinity Avenue, Northampton. The morning journey starts at 07:46 and the afternoon return finishes at 16:00. This is a local school transport service, classified as transport services excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, based in Northampton.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It had one completed lot. Ezy Cars, a Northampton-based SME, was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and has an active period from 2 September 2026 to 23 July 2028. Its value is £98,000 gross. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition procedure; the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the route-based passenger transport service. The contract covers the specified one-to-eight-seat provision, passenger assistant requirement and transport for the school passenger between Brackley and Northampton.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, this award demonstrates demand for small-scale, route-based school transport in West Northamptonshire, linking Brackley and Northampton with a specialist school service. A credible competitor would need to operate vehicles suitable for one-to-eight-seat journeys, provide reliable morning and afternoon route coverage, and support a passenger travelling with a passenger assistant. Familiarity with journeys involving social, emotional and mental health needs would be relevant, as would the ability to accommodate the specified wheelchair-user equipment, including an electric Snappi Buggy or Action Junior 3. Local operating capacity around Northampton and Brackley, dependable school-run logistics and experience delivering comparable passenger transport would strengthen a future response.
