## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a passenger transport service for one passenger without a personal assistant. The route-based service uses a vehicle with capacity for one to eight seats and runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. It collects the passenger at Hazelwood, Silverstone, Towcester, Northamptonshire, at 08:50, travels to TRAX at Red Barn Farm, Woodstock Road, Wolvercote, Oxford, and returns from TRAX at 15:00 for arrival at Hazelwood at 15:38. The service is for scheduled passenger transport between these locations, with the outward journey ending at the TRAX site and the return journey beginning there. West Northamptonshire Council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement concerns transport services rather than vehicle supply, construction or general taxi provision.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following below-threshold limited competition. Station taxi limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £360 gross, including all taxes, in total. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. One completed lot covered the scheduled one-passenger route. The procurement is under the light-touch regime. The published service description states that West Northamptonshire Council will set a starting price for the contract. The award is active and the contract is active, so the outcome is an established council requirement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the current procurement.

This award is relevant to small local passenger transport operators, taxi businesses and providers with suitable cars or small people carriers, reliable drivers and the capacity to deliver a fixed timetable three days a week. Credible competitors would need to provide dependable door-to-destination and return transport for a single passenger, maintain punctual performance at early morning and afternoon times, and cover the route between the Silverstone and Wolvercote areas. Familiarity with Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire roads would support consistent delivery. The requirement also shows that West Northamptonshire Council uses below-threshold limited competition for small, route-specific passenger transport services. Suppliers able to monitor recurring school, social-care or supported-travel transport needs and respond through this procurement route may be well placed when comparable council requirements return.
