## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a passenger transport service for one passenger travelling with a personal assistant, using a vehicle provision of between one and eight seats. The route runs between Hawksmoor Way in Northampton and Seeds of Change at The Acorn Centre, Little Acorn Farm, Newland Road, Walgrave, with a return journey. The scheduled outward journey is from Northampton to Walgrave, followed by the return journey to Northampton. The service operates on Mondays and Thursdays. This is a local, route-based passenger transport requirement rather than a general fleet or public bus service. The work falls within transport services and is intended to support regular access to Seeds of Change for the named passenger and accompanying personal assistant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ezy Cars, a Northampton-based small business. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The contract was signed and awarded on 10 September 2026, for the period from 14 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. Its value is £152 gross. The awarded service covers the single route-based passenger transport requirement, with West Northamptonshire Council setting a starting price for the contract. The winning supplier is Ezy Cars. The published procurement information identifies transport services as the basis of the requirement; the recorded route, passenger and personal-assistant arrangements define the operational scope evaluated through the limited competition.

This award demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for highly specific, local passenger transport delivered against a fixed route and timetable. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide a suitable one-to-eight-seat vehicle, reliable Monday and Thursday operations, and dependable journeys between Northampton and Walgrave. The service also requires the practical ability to transport one passenger alongside a personal assistant, maintain punctual collections and returns, and work consistently to named addresses. Local knowledge of Northampton and the surrounding villages would support effective delivery. The award to a Northampton small business indicates that the requirement can suit an SME with appropriate vehicle capacity, scheduling discipline and experience in contracted passenger transport.
