Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement was managed by the local authority and associated children’s and family services organisation. The published scope identifies transport services generally, without a more detailed description of the journeys, passengers, vehicles or operating model. Delivery was associated with the Sutton and Kingston upon Thames area. The procurement was categorised under CPV 60000000, covering transport services other than waste transport. This is a local-authority transport requirement, so it is relevant to operators and transport providers able to deliver services in the London Borough of Sutton and surrounding area, particularly those familiar with public-sector or supported transport operations.

The procurement was completed through an open procedure. The award was made on 25 July 2026 to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd, an SME. The active contract is valued at £14,228.57 and was signed on 25 July 2026. The award related to the transport-services requirement for the London Borough of Sutton. The record shows 27 bids were received. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with the quality categories listed as attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric carrying no stated weighting. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, indicating that the selected supplier was awarded the contract despite the lot status.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate dependable transport delivery for the London Borough of Sutton and its associated children’s services. Relevant strengths would include an established operating capability, suitably qualified staff and vehicles, robust service features, and positive evidence from client reviews. The evaluation record also indicates that price was decisive, so efficient scheduling, fleet utilisation and tightly controlled operating costs would be important. A small or medium-sized operator can be competitive, as the selected supplier was an SME. Businesses with experience of local-authority transport, clear evidence of capability and qualifications, and a service model that can withstand price-led evaluation would be best placed.
