Bus Service Operation Contract - North Northamptonshire Local Routes

North Northamptonshire Council seeks quotations from qualified operators to run local bus services in the region. The contract involves strengthening existing commercial bus services (routes 17, 18, and 19) on the corridor between Ise Lodge and Desborough, with the goal of providing three buses per hour on the Desborough to Kettering route. The contract also includes provision for evening service extensions on the last bus to Thrapston via Barton Latimer. Interested bus operators should demonstrate experience in local public transport service delivery, capacity to meet frequency requirements, and ability to integrate with existing commercial services.
