## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based provision using vehicles with capacity for one to eight seats. The requirement covered transport for one passenger without a personal assistant, travelling between Ethel Street in Northampton, CE Academy – Chiltern on Chiltern Way in Northampton, and Seeds of Change at The Acorn Centre, Little Acorn Farm, Newland Road, Walgrave. Journeys were required on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, with morning, midday and afternoon movements between the Northampton addresses and Walgrave. The service is local authority transport supporting regular travel to education and related provision. The route involved different mileage on different days, with the council setting a starting price for the contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and was organised as one completed route-based lot. Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026 for £100.60 (GBP). The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated within a limited competition rather than an open procedure; the published requirement focused on pricing the differing mileage for each day against the council’s starting price. The awarded service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The council remains the buyer and the award is active.

This requirement indicates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for dependable, small-capacity passenger transport on fixed education and support routes around Northampton and Walgrave. A credible future competitor would need suitable vehicles for one to eight passengers, the operational capacity to cover separate Monday, Tuesday and Thursday journeys, and the ability to provide punctual collections and returns across the named locations. Route planning and accurate mileage-based pricing are important because daily distances differ. Suppliers should also be able to manage a single-passenger journey without a personal assistant and coordinate morning, midday and afternoon timings around the destination’s activities. Local knowledge, reliable dispatch and consistent service delivery would strengthen a bid through the council’s limited-competition route.
