## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for route-based provision using vehicles or transport capacity for between one and eight seats. The requirement concerns arranging or delivering passenger journeys on defined routes for the council, rather than supplying general vehicles or wider transport infrastructure. It is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The named public-sector buyer is West Northamptonshire Council. The procurement relates to a single route-based service requirement and is specifically focused on small-scale passenger transport provision. Businesses relevant to this requirement are private-hire, taxi, community transport or other passenger transport operators able to provide journeys using vehicles suitable for one to eight passengers.

The procurement has completed and an active award was made following below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure and covered one lot. Harrisons Private Hire Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and has an active period from 10 September 2026 to 15 September 2026. Its stated value is £0.01 gross, in pounds sterling. The contract is below the applicable threshold and falls under the light-touch regime. The recorded procurement status is complete, while the award and contract are active. The published information identifies the route-based passenger transport service and its one-to-eight-seat provision as the subject of the award.

This award is useful market evidence for passenger transport operators serving West Northamptonshire Council. It shows demand for route-based services using small vehicles or other provision suitable for one to eight passengers, rather than a large fleet or full-size bus operation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide passenger transport reliably on defined council routes, match vehicle capacity to small passenger groups, and organise the service around the council’s operational requirements. Private-hire firms, taxi operators and community transport providers with relevant route delivery experience are the closest commercial fit. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of council transport work can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator.
