Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and was arranged as a single procurement lot. The available description identifies the buyer and the transport service category but does not set out the vehicles, passenger groups, routes, operating model or other detailed service outputs. The buyer is a regional or local authority organisation based in Kingston upon Thames and associated with Sutton and Achieving for Children. This opportunity is therefore relevant to transport operators able to provide services for a London borough and its associated children’s services requirements, subject to the detailed specification and operational arrangements used for the procurement.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure. The award for the transport services requirement is active and was made to K.A.T. Transport Limited. The awarded contract value is £23,633.40 excluding any separate tax treatment stated in the contract data, in GBP. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026, and the award is recorded against the single lot. Evaluation placed 100% of the stated weighting on price. The quality criteria listed attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, but each was recorded with a value of zero. The procurement recorded 19 bids. The lot itself is marked cancelled, despite the active award recorded against it.

This procurement provides a clear indication that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston uses an open competitive route to buy transport services and that price can be decisive in evaluation. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate an ability to deliver reliable transport for a London borough and associated children’s services, with suitable operational capability and staff qualifications. Evidence addressing service attributes, features, client feedback and any buyer-specific requirements would support credibility, even though those quality criteria carried no recorded weighting here. The successful supplier was a large transport business, so competitors should be prepared to show sufficient organisational capacity, dependable service management and the ability to submit a commercially competitive price for a defined local-authority requirement.
