Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement covers transport activity delivered in Sutton and the surrounding service area associated with the buyer. The procurement is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport. The buyer is a local authority-led arrangement involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The selected supplier, Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, is based in Cheam. The published scope is described at a high level as transport services for the London Borough of Sutton, rather than as a separate vehicle, passenger group or route package.

This completed procurement used an open procedure under the 2014 EU public procurement framework. It was structured as one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the related award remains active and the contract is active. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 for £2,125.71. Thirty-one bids were recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality criteria covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The contract period is not stated. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award provides evidence of a defined local demand for transport services from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with a small contract value and a competitive supplier field: 31 bids were recorded. A credible future competitor would need to deliver transport services in and around Sutton, demonstrate capability and relevant qualifications, and provide service features and customer outcomes that withstand client review. Although the recorded evaluation gave price all the stated weighting, suppliers would still need to address the buyer’s listed quality themes, including attributes, capability and qualifications. Transport operators, courier businesses and firms able to combine reliable local delivery with disciplined low-cost pricing are the closest fit for this requirement.
