## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a passenger transport service for a route serving learners attending Canto Learning at Willis House, Northampton. The requirement is for a six-seater vehicle with a passenger assistant, carrying passengers on a fixed morning and afternoon route between Rosehip Court, Daventry; High Street, Kislingbury; Hervey Close, Northampton; and Canto Learning, Northampton. The morning journey runs to the learning centre, with the return journey following the same stops in reverse. The service supports passengers with communication and social interaction difficulties, and speech, language and communication needs. This is a local passenger transport service delivered across Daventry, Kislingbury and Northampton for West Northamptonshire Council. The relevant category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to YAMATAXIS LTD. West Northamptonshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed route-based lot covering provision for one to eight passengers. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and is active from 2 September 2026 to 23 July 2028. Its awarded value is £630 gross in GBP. The award covers the passenger transport service described, including the six-seater vehicle and passenger assistant requirement. The recorded evaluation route was limited competition rather than an open procedure. The selected supplier is identified as an SME based in Northampton. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded for this requirement.

This requirement is most relevant to small local passenger transport operators able to provide reliable route-based education or specialist passenger services using vehicles with capacity for up to eight people. Credible competitors would need access to a suitable six-seater vehicle, the ability to provide a passenger assistant, and the operational capacity to complete scheduled morning and afternoon journeys between Daventry, Kislingbury and Northampton. Experience supporting passengers with communication, social interaction, speech or language needs would be directly relevant, as would dependable safeguarding, punctuality and passenger-care arrangements for travel to a learning setting. The award demonstrates that West Northamptonshire Council uses a below-threshold limited-competition route for small, tightly defined local transport requirements. Businesses with local coverage and capacity for fixed school or learning-centre routes are best placed for comparable future requirements from this buyer.
