Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The requirement is described only at a high level, with no further breakdown of the vehicles, passenger groups, routes or operating model. The stated delivery area is identified in the procurement data by an internal regional reference rather than a place name. The buying organisation is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local-authority-related public body based in Kingston upon Thames. The selected supplier, Elite Transit Ltd, is based in London and is classified as a large organisation. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing transport services for public-sector requirements managed by local government or related public bodies.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is marked cancelled, although an active award and active contract are recorded against it. Elite Transit Ltd was awarded the contract on 27 July 2026 for £3,361.29 excluding any separately stated tax treatment. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026; no contract end date or duration is recorded. Fifteen bids were received. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with the published quality criteria covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom measure. The procurement falls within transport services.

This procurement indicates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for externally provided transport services delivered under a formal public-sector procedure. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to offer a clear, competitive pricing model and demonstrate practical transport capability. The evaluation also identifies the areas likely to matter when the requirement returns: service attributes, client experience and review history, operational features, delivery capability, and staff or organisational qualifications. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence reliable transport operations, relevant public-sector or comparable client performance, appropriately qualified personnel and a service model that can be assessed consistently against defined quality measures as well as price.
