Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, with delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement falls within passenger and other transport services, excluding waste transport. The named buyer is the local authority partnership Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, based in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement associated with the Royal Borough of Kingston. The selected supplier, KB Radio Cars Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in New Malden. This points to a local transport requirement suitable for businesses providing passenger transport or radio-car services in and around Kingston upon Thames.

The procurement used an open procedure and was evaluated on price and quality. Price carried 100 points; the listed quality areas were attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Twenty-two bids were recorded. The associated lot is marked cancelled, but an active award was made to KB Radio Cars Ltd. The contract value is £3,321.43 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 30 July 2026. The buyer is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The award relates to the Royal Borough of Kingston transport requirement, with the supplier selected following the completed procurement process.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to provide transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston and demonstrate the capability and qualifications expected by the buyer. The evaluation shows that price was decisive in this procurement, while the stated quality areas indicate that buyers may also examine service attributes, features, client feedback or review history, capability and qualifications. A local SME was selected, suggesting that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a major national transport business. Suppliers with a Kingston-area operating base, suitable transport capacity and evidence of reliable service would be well placed to compete when the buyer next tests this demand.
