## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured area-based passenger transport services for its 2026 requirements. The work falls within the transport services category (CPV 60000000) and concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or construction. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, serving the West Northamptonshire area from Northampton. The requirement was arranged as a single area-based service, indicating a need for an operator able to provide transport across the council’s designated area rather than a narrowly defined delivery site. The selected provider, Skyline Taxis Limited, is based in Northampton, which gives the procurement a clear local passenger-transport focus for taxi and comparable transport businesses.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used the light-touch regime and comprised one completed lot. Skyline Taxis Limited was awarded the contract on 4 September 2026, with the contract signed on 3 September 2026. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 20 September 2026. Its stated value is £0.01 gross. The contract is active and the tender is complete. The award covers passenger transport services for the area-based requirement. The published outcome identifies Skyline Taxis Limited as the successful supplier; no separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded for this procurement.

For competing passenger transport businesses, this procurement demonstrates that West Northamptonshire Council buys short-duration, area-based transport services through a limited below-threshold competition. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to deliver passenger transport across the council’s area and operate at a scale suitable for council use. The selected supplier is a large Northampton-based taxi business, so local operating capability and the ability to organise transport within Northamptonshire are commercially relevant indicators. Taxi operators and other passenger transport providers with dependable local coverage, suitable vehicles and the capacity to meet public-sector service requirements are the closest fit. The requirement also provides a specific example of this buyer’s transport demand and purchasing route.
