## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a scheduled passenger transport service using a vehicle carrying between one and eight passengers. The route connects Lattimore Close in West Haddon with the National College for Motorsport at Technology Park, Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Towcester. The service runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with morning outbound and afternoon return journeys. The route begins at Lattimore Close and serves the college, providing transport for passengers travelling between the two points. The requirement is classified as transport services. It is a route-based service rather than a general passenger transport arrangement, with specified collection, arrival and return points. The council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed and the contract was awarded to John's Taxi. The award was active on 8 September 2026, the contract was signed on 8 September 2026, and the contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. Its value is £260. The service schedule covers Wednesdays and Thursdays: from 14 September 2026, the outbound journey departs Lattimore Close at 08:20 and arrives at the National College for Motorsport at 09:00; the return departs at 16:30 and arrives at 17:11. For the week beginning 7 September 2026, the return departure is 15:30, arriving at 16:11. The procurement used the light-touch regime.

This award shows demand from West Northamptonshire Council for tightly defined, route-based passenger transport using a small vehicle. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a reliable one-to-eight-seat vehicle, provide scheduled morning and afternoon journeys, and maintain dependable service on fixed weekdays. The route requires punctual collection from a residential location in West Haddon, timely arrival at the National College for Motorsport at Silverstone Circuit, and a return journey to the original collection point. Suppliers with experience in pre-planned passenger transport, disciplined timetable management and the capacity to cover recurring journeys between West Northamptonshire locations would be well placed. The requirement may suit taxi operators and other small passenger transport businesses able to deliver a consistent, route-specific service.
