Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement falls within general passenger and other transport services, excluding waste transport. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s service area, with the buyer based in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement was managed by the local authority partnership of Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The selected supplier, K.A.T. Transport Limited, is based in Croydon. The published requirement is described at a high level as transport services for Sutton, so businesses assessing relevance should have experience delivering transport operations for a local authority or related public-service organisation. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made to K.A.T. Transport Limited. The associated contract is active and was signed on 28 July 2026 for £30,821.53. The procedure was an open procedure. Twenty-four bids were recorded for the requirement. Evaluation was based entirely on price, alongside listed quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric; the published weighting assigns 100% to price. The sole lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are also recorded against it. No cancellation reason is provided. The available outcome data therefore shows a completed procurement with one active awarded contract and a signed contract value stated above.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for externally delivered transport services, with competition from 24 bidders and a contract awarded to a large transport company. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to provide reliable transport for a local authority service area, together with demonstrable capability, relevant qualifications and service features that can withstand client review. Because price carried the entire published evaluation weighting, cost control and efficient fleet, staffing and dispatch arrangements would be commercially important, while quality-related headings indicate that capability and qualifications were still part of the stated assessment framework. Transport businesses able to combine public-sector delivery experience, dependable operations and competitive pricing would be best placed for a similar requirement from this buyer.
