Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for activity delivered in the West Midlands region. The requirement is associated with the London Borough of Sutton and is presented as a single transport-services requirement. The buyer is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority organisation based in Kingston upon Thames. The available description does not break the service down into vehicle types, passenger groups, routes, operating arrangements or other delivery requirements. Businesses specialising in contracted passenger transport, local authority transport operations or related transport provision would therefore find the subject matter relevant, subject to checking the underlying specifications for the detailed service scope and operational obligations.

The procurement used an open procedure and is recorded as complete. The single lot is marked cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded against it. K.A.T. Transport Limited was awarded the contract, with the award linked to that lot. The award value is £74,275.71 excluding any unspecified tax treatment, in GBP. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026. Evaluation placed 100% of the stated weighting on price; quality headings covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Ten bids were recorded for the lot. No contract duration or separate award date is provided in the procurement outcome.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for a competitively priced transport service delivered through an open procedure. A credible future competitor would need to show strong transport capability, relevant qualifications and dependable service features, while providing evidence that the buyer can review positively against its quality headings. The successful supplier was a large transport business, indicating that the requirement can suit an established operator with the capacity to manage public-sector delivery and submit a price-led offer. Smaller firms may still be relevant where they can demonstrate equivalent operational capacity, suitable qualifications and a robust approach to client assurance. The buyer’s use of an open procedure makes familiarity with formal tendering important.
