## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a passenger transport service for one passenger travelling without a personal assistant, using a vehicle suitable for 1–8 seats. The route links Priestland Road, Birmingham, with Boughton Mill Equestrian Centre at Boughton Mill Farm, Welford Road, Chapel Brampton, Northampton. Journeys are scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, departing Birmingham at 08:30, arriving at Boughton Mill at 10:00, returning from Boughton Mill at 15:00 and arriving back in Birmingham at 16:30. This is a small-scale, route-based transport requirement rather than a general fleet or passenger transport service. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, based in Northampton, and the delivery locations are in Birmingham and Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Station taxi limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and has an active period from 8 September 2026 to 20 December 2026. Its awarded value is £382 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The award relates to transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. There was one completed lot covering the route-based 1–8 seat provision. The tender description states that West Northamptonshire Council would set a starting price for the contract. The published outcome records Station taxi limited as the selected supplier for the passenger journey requirement.

This outcome indicates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for dependable, small-vehicle passenger transport on a fixed, repeated route between Birmingham and Northamptonshire. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need access to a suitable 1–8 seat vehicle, the ability to carry a passenger without a personal assistant, and capacity to provide four precisely timed journeys on three specified weekdays. Credibility would depend on reliable attendance, punctual driving, route planning and clear arrangements for handling a regular passenger journey. Operators with experience in contracted passenger transport, local knowledge of Birmingham and Northampton, and the administrative capacity to take part in a limited competition would be well placed. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can suit a smaller transport operator.
