Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The buying organisation was Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and was arranged as a single lot. The available information associates the work with the London Borough of Sutton and its children and family services context through the buyer’s name. The selected supplier, St Joseph’s Travels Ltd., is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Horley. This opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi and private-hire providers, and other businesses able to deliver local authority transport services in and around Sutton.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made following an open procedure. Twenty-two bids were recorded. St Joseph’s Travels Ltd. was selected for the requirement, with an award-linked contract valued at £3,852.86. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026. Evaluation was based entirely on price, while the stated quality considerations covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and linked contract are recorded as active. The published outcome therefore identifies St Joseph’s Travels Ltd. as the supplier and records the contract value and signature date, without a stated contract end date.

This procurement shows a local authority requirement for transport services that attracted 22 bids and was awarded to an SME. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide reliable local transport operations, demonstrate practical capability and relevant qualifications, and address service features, client experience and other quality attributes alongside a competitive price. The evaluation record placed full weighting on price, so cost control and efficient vehicle and driver deployment would be important. Businesses with experience serving councils, Achieving for Children or similar public-sector users would be well placed to evidence client reviews and understand safeguarding, scheduling, passenger care and operational reliability requirements relevant to Sutton’s transport needs.
