Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Sutton, with the requirement described as transport services excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority serving Sutton and associated public services. The published scope is high-level and does not identify particular vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or operating facilities. The delivery area is associated with the Sutton and Kingston upon Thames local-authority area. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to transport operators and specialist providers able to deliver local-authority transport services in and around Sutton, rather than suppliers of waste haulage or unrelated logistics services.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd. The associated contract was signed on 25 July 2026 for £25,212.86. The process used an open procedure under the GPA-covered procurement route. One lot was recorded as cancelled, although the related award and contract are active. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with the tender also listing quality considerations covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Thirty-one bids were recorded for the lot. The award was made to St Joseph’s Travels Ltd, an SME based in Horley. No contract duration or end date is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for locally delivered transport services and shows that an SME transport provider secured the contract against 31 bids. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established transport operation serving the relevant local-authority area, with the capability and qualifications to meet public-sector service requirements. Evidence addressing service attributes, previous client reviews, operational features and delivery capability would be important, alongside a clear and competitive pricing model. Suppliers should also be able to present their qualifications and explain how their service meets the buyer’s stated requirements. The procurement route indicates that suppliers should be prepared for a formal open competition rather than direct negotiation.
