Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, with activity centred on Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was structured as a service lot under the buyer’s transport procurement. The available description identifies the buyer and location but does not set out the specific passenger, vehicle, route or operational services involved. This is therefore relevant primarily to transport businesses that can examine the underlying requirement and determine whether their operating model matches the council’s needs. The procuring organisation is a local authority, and the awarded supplier, Clockwise Travel Group Ltd, is based in Worcester Park. The service category is transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000).

The procurement reached completion through an open procedure. The sole lot is recorded as cancelled, while an active award was made to Clockwise Travel Group Ltd. The award date was 31 July 2026 and the awarded contract value was £2,679.29. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is recorded as active. Thirty-two bids were reported for the lot. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with the published quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome records the award and signed contract but does not provide a contract end date or duration.

This procurement is useful market evidence for transport operators tracking demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The selected supplier was a large transport business, indicating that an established operator was able to satisfy the buyer’s requirements for this service. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the same buyer would need demonstrable transport capability, appropriate staff or operational qualifications, and the capacity to provide the required service reliably in the Kingston upon Thames area. The evaluation headings show that capability, qualifications, service features, client experience and other quality attributes may be examined alongside price, even though price carried the full stated weighting here. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence relevant performance and submit competitively priced transport provision.
