## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for one route requiring a vehicle with capacity for one to eight passengers. The specific service is for one passenger without a passenger assistant, travelling every day between Holcot Close, Wellingborough, and Abbeyfield Secondary School, Mereway, Northampton. The scheduled journey starts at Holcot Close at 08:00, arrives at the school at 08:45, returns from the school at 15:00 and arrives back at Holcot Close at 15:45. The requirement is route-based transport for school travel, covering journeys between Wellingborough and Northampton. The relevant service category is passenger transport services. West Northamptonshire Council is the buying organisation and the service is delivered at the specified collection and school locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one route. Skyline Taxis Limited was selected as the supplier, with an active award. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £300 gross, including taxes. The published outcome identifies the arrangement as passenger transport services for the route-based one-to-eight-seat provision. The procurement record does not state an award scoring model or separate quality and price weightings. West Northamptonshire Council set a starting price for the contract. The contract itself is recorded as active.

This award shows demand from West Northamptonshire Council for small-capacity, route-based school transport between Wellingborough and Northampton. A credible future supplier would need to provide a suitable vehicle for journeys carrying one to eight passengers, operate reliably every day, and meet fixed morning and afternoon collection and return times. The requirement particularly suits taxi, private-hire or other passenger transport operators able to provide dependable scheduled school journeys with a small vehicle. Businesses should be able to plan and deliver the complete route between the named residential and school locations, maintain punctual service at both ends of the day, and work within a council-set starting price. Experience of regular school passenger transport would support a competitive response when comparable requirements are next tested.
