Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport and falls within the services category. The buyer is a local authority grouping involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with the contracting party based in Kingston upon Thames. The selected supplier, Nivo Mobility, is based in New Malden and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement associated with Sutton. The available information describes the procurement at a broad service level rather than identifying particular passenger groups, vehicle types, routes or operating arrangements.

The procurement used an open procedure and has reached the awarded stage. The award was made to Nivo Mobility for the Sutton requirement, with a contract value of £76,114.29. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026, and the award date is recorded as 21 July 2026. Nine bids were received. Evaluation was based on price, recorded as carrying 100% of the weighting; quality criteria were also listed for attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each with a zero weighting. The process was recorded as complete. The associated lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This procurement is useful market evidence for transport operators serving local-authority requirements around Sutton and Kingston upon Thames. A future competitor would need a credible transport-services offer and the ability to submit a strongly priced response, because price was the stated basis for the award decision. The requirement attracted nine bids, indicating competition from multiple suppliers. Nivo Mobility’s recorded SME status shows that a smaller specialist business can be a relevant bidder for this scale of local-authority transport work. Suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement should be ready to evidence their capability, qualifications, service features, relevant attributes and client-review performance, since these were identified as quality areas even though they carried no recorded weighting in this award.
