## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for urgent and short-notice requirements during 2026. The requirement is classified as transport services, covering the movement of passengers rather than goods or waste. It was treated as a service procurement under the light-touch regime. The council is based in Northampton and the selected supplier, Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd, is also based in Northampton. The procurement concerned a single requirement, rather than separate service categories or multiple lots. Its focus is responsive passenger transport delivered for the council’s operational needs when arrangements are needed urgently or at short notice.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made to Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd on 3 September 2026. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and is active from 4 September to 11 October 2026. Its recorded value is £0.01 including tax, with the same amount recorded before tax. One supplier was selected for the passenger transport requirement. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome does not set out an award weighting, quality-price split, minimum eligibility requirements or a separate evaluation basis.

This award confirms demand from West Northamptonshire Council for passenger transport that can be arranged urgently and at short notice. A credible future competitor would need to provide passenger transport services reliably, respond quickly to unplanned or time-sensitive requirements and maintain sufficient operational capacity across the contract’s service needs. Local operating capability in Northampton may be commercially useful, since both the council and the awarded supplier are based there, although the procurement does not impose a stated local-access condition. The selected supplier is classified as a large organisation, so businesses considering similar work should assess whether their fleet, staffing, dispatch arrangements and service resilience are adequate for comparable short-notice council requirements.
