Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, with delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was classified as transport services excluding waste transport and was treated as a service procurement. The published title and description identify the Royal Borough of Kingston rather than a more detailed operational scope, so the opportunity is most relevant to businesses providing transport services for a local authority and its associated public-service organisations. The buyer is a regional or local authority operating through Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The named service location is Kingston upon Thames, within the Royal Borough of Kingston. The selected provider, Sprint transfers Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in airport transfers.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Sprint transfers Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 for £4,605.71 including the published currency, GBP. The procedure was an open procedure, evaluated on price and quality. Price carried the stated weighting of 100; the quality areas were attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Ten bids were recorded for the lot. The single lot was marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the outcome contains conflicting lot and award status information. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For competitors, this award provides evidence that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston uses an open route to source transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. A credible future supplier would need to deliver dependable transport operations in Kingston upon Thames and demonstrate capability in the specific service required by the authority. The evaluation signals that price was decisive, while the stated quality considerations indicate that bidders may also need evidence covering service attributes, client reviews, operational features, capability and staff qualifications. Sprint transfers Ltd is recorded as an SME and operates in airport transfers, suggesting that a smaller specialist transport business can meet this buyer’s scale and procurement requirements when it presents a competitive, evidenced service offer.
