Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" has been conducted by the London Borough of Sutton, under the management of Sutton, Achieving for Children, and Kingston. This completed procurement falls under the services category, with the process beginning as an open procedure governed by legal basis CELEX:32014L0024. The procurement process reached the award and contract stages, finalised with a contract awarded to Car Service (London) Limited, trading as Courier Cars, on 28th July 2026. The service location is specified as the UKG13 region. Although initially announced, the lot was eventually cancelled despite the completion of the procurement stages.

Given the completion of the process and the nature of the services required, businesses capable of meeting stringent quality criteria across several attributes, including client review, features, capability, and qualifications, alongside competitive pricing, would benefit. The awarded contract holds a potential value of £34,489.29, encouraging businesses with a similar service offering to explore future opportunities with regional or local authorities such as the London Borough of Sutton.
