Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement falls within general transport services, excluding waste transport, and was arranged as a single requirement. The stated delivery area is associated with the buyer’s Sutton service, while the buying organisation is based in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement was managed by Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority-related public service organisation. The selected supplier, Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, is based in Cheam and provides the relevant transport and courier service capability. The requirement appears suited to operators able to deliver transport services for a local public-sector buyer and work across the Sutton area.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure. The single lot was marked cancelled, but an active award was made to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd for £16,650. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026. Twenty-eight bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with a weighting of 100%; the stated quality areas were attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award relates to the transport-services requirement for Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, and the contract is recorded as active.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for local transport services in the Sutton area, with a relatively focused contract scale and a competitive open-procedure route. A credible future competitor would need reliable operational capacity for transport and courier work, the ability to serve a local authority-related buyer, and evidence supporting capability, qualifications, service features, client reviews and relevant attributes. Although price was decisive in this procurement, suppliers would still need to present clear, convincing information under the quality headings used in the evaluation. Operators with established local coverage, dependable scheduling and the resources to deliver consistently would be best placed to respond when a comparable requirement returns.
