## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured ongoing marketing and promotional support for its “Buses for you phase 4” programme. The requirement covers promotional services, including continuing support for marketing and promotional activity. The work is a service rather than goods or construction, classified under CPV 79342200. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, based in Northampton. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom. The requirement was organised as a single lot covering ongoing promotional and marketing support. This is therefore relevant to marketing agencies, promotional services providers and communications businesses able to deliver continuing support for a local authority transport-related programme across the UK.

The procurement has completed and an active award was made to GO Travel Solutions Ltd, a Leicester-based SME. The contract value is £75,000. The contract was signed on 27 May 2026 and is active. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, using a rationale that the procurement fell outside the relevant directive’s scope and was needed to support West Northamptonshire Council’s ongoing works. The single lot was marked cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award criterion was price, so the successful offer was evaluated on cost rather than a published quality weighting.

This procurement demonstrates a defined need for continuing marketing and promotional support from West Northamptonshire Council, delivered through a limited procedure without a prior competition. A competing supplier would need to provide reliable ongoing promotional and marketing services for a public-sector transport programme, with the operational capacity to maintain support over the life of an active contract. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large agency. Price was the stated award criterion, so credible future suppliers would need a competitive, clearly costed service offer alongside evidence that they can sustain the required promotional activity for the council.
