## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured route-based passenger transport for one passenger, using a vehicle with capacity for 1 to 8 seats and no passenger assistant. The service carries a passenger between Taper Way, Daventry, and Ignite Dance Space, 10 St. Marks Road, St. James Industrial Estate, Corby. It operates on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with an outbound journey in the morning and a return journey in the afternoon. The scheduled route runs from Daventry at 07:30 to Corby at 08:30, then from Corby at 15:30 back to Daventry at 16:29. This is a local passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Northamptonshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. YAMATAXIS LTD was awarded the contract, which was signed on 24 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £560 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the council setting a starting price for the contract. The published description also refers to a global learning delay, but gives no further detail about its relevance to the service.

This requirement indicates demand for small-scale, scheduled passenger transport serving education or specialist activity journeys in the West Northamptonshire and Corby area. A credible future supplier would need suitable vehicles accommodating between 1 and 8 seats, reliable weekday availability, and the capacity to deliver tightly timed morning and afternoon journeys on a fixed route. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local transport business rather than only a large operator. Relevant strengths include dependable daily operations, punctual school or activity transport, route familiarity across Daventry and Corby, vehicle suitability, and the ability to manage a recurring passenger journey without a passenger assistant. Experience of working to council service instructions would also support credibility.
