## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based 1–8-seat vehicle provision. The requirement covers one passenger without a personal assistant, travelling on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between Edinbane Close, Nottingham, and Cambian Northampton, 67 Queens Park Parade, Northampton. The scheduled outward journey departs Edinbane Close at 07:00 and arrives at Cambian Northampton at 08:50. The return journey departs Cambian Northampton at 14:30 and arrives at Edinbane Close at 16:00. This is a local passenger transport service requiring a suitable small vehicle and the ability to provide reliable, repeated journeys between Nottingham and Northampton for the specified passenger.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Station taxi limited, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch services regime. One route-based lot was awarded, with transport services classified under CPV 60000000. The award was active and the contract was signed on 27 August 2026. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 11 December 2026. Its value is £504 including tax. West Northamptonshire Council stated that it would set a starting price for the contract. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the single awarded route; no separate scoring or weighting criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome.

This award shows West Northamptonshire Council’s demand for small-vehicle passenger transport on a fixed route between Nottingham and Northampton. A credible future competitor would need to provide a 1–8-seat vehicle, carry a single passenger without a personal assistant, and deliver dependable morning and afternoon journeys three days each week. The requirement favours operators able to maintain punctual service across a repeated cross-town route, manage the stated collection and destination points, and sustain consistent cover throughout the service period. Station taxi limited’s status as an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport operator rather than only by a large fleet business. Relevant capability is scheduled passenger transport, not general haulage or vehicle supply.
