## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured a route-based passenger transport service for one passenger travelling between Northampton and Stablemates Therapy in Woodford Halse, Daventry. The service uses a vehicle suitable for one to eight passengers and covers the return journey between Gladstone Road, Northampton, and Stablemates Therapy, 5 Scrivens Hill, Woodford Halse. The published route specifies one passenger with no personal assistant, travelling on Mondays and Thursdays. The outward journey is scheduled from Gladstone Road to Stablemates Therapy, with the return journey later the same day. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, covering a defined journey for a council-supported passenger. West Northamptonshire Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Northamptonshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Skyline Taxis Limited was awarded the passenger transport contract. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026, with an awarded value of £160 gross. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 25 July 2027. The requirement was treated as a single route-based lot. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The published route and timetable formed the basis of the requirement; the data records the selected supplier and contract outcome but does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This requirement is relevant to taxi operators and small passenger transport providers able to deliver a reliable, repeated school-day or care-related route between Northampton and rural Daventry. A credible competitor would need an appropriately sized vehicle for a single passenger, capacity to provide the specified return journey on Mondays and Thursdays, and the operational discipline to meet fixed morning and afternoon timings. Local knowledge of Gladstone Road, Northampton, and Stablemates Therapy in Woodford Halse would support dependable delivery. The award demonstrates that West Northamptonshire Council buys tightly defined, route-based passenger transport through a limited below-threshold competition, so providers with dependable local vehicles, scheduling capacity and experience delivering individual passenger journeys would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
