## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based provision using vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement covers weekday journeys between Sorrel Crescent, Wootton, Northamptonshire, and St Johns Road, Tiffield, Northamptonshire. The scheduled journey is in both directions, with an outbound arrival time of 08:20 at Sorrel Crescent and 08:40 at St Johns Road, and return departure times of 16:00 from St Johns Road and 16:20 from Sorrel Crescent. This is a local passenger transport service rather than a general transport or vehicle supply requirement. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is intended to support regular passenger movements along a defined route for the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 1 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 16 April 2027. Its value is £250 gross. The award covers one route-based lot for the one-to-eight-seat passenger transport service. The published route timetable provides weekday operating times, with the morning journey from Sorrel Crescent at 08:20 and St Johns Road at 08:40, and the afternoon journey from St Johns Road at 16:00 and Sorrel Crescent at 16:20. Skyline Taxis Limited is the selected supplier.

This award shows a requirement for a taxi or small-vehicle operator able to provide dependable scheduled passenger transport on a fixed local route in West Northamptonshire. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to vehicles suitable for one to eight passengers, reliable weekday availability and the operational capacity to meet precise morning and afternoon timings in both directions. Familiarity with Wootton, Tiffield and surrounding Northamptonshire roads would support consistent service delivery. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that suppliers should be able to respond through a focused, route-specific procurement rather than only through large transport frameworks. The successful supplier was a large taxi business, providing a clear benchmark for the organisation and service capability needed for this type of council passenger transport.
