Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers transport services for Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local-authority group based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport. The available description identifies the buyer and broad service category rather than a detailed operating model, passenger group or fleet requirement. The work is associated with the buyer’s public-service activities and the delivery location is recorded in the West Midlands region. Rosehillcars, a Carshalton-based small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected as the supplier for the requirement. Businesses with experience providing transport services to local authorities, schools, children’s services or other public-sector clients would recognise the type of work involved, subject to checking the detailed procurement documents for the operational specification.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure under the 2014 EU public procurement rules and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Seventeen bids were recorded. Evaluation included quality criteria covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, alongside price; the published weighting assigns 100 points to price. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award to Rosehillcars remains active. The award was made on 7 August 2026 for £3,232.41, and the associated contract is active with the same value. No contract duration is stated in the available procurement information.

This outcome provides a clear indication that the buyer uses an open, price-led route for relatively small transport-service requirements and that a small or medium-sized local operator can secure the work. A credible future competitor would need dependable transport operations, the capacity to meet public-sector service requirements, and evidence that its vehicles, drivers and processes are suitable for the relevant users and locations. Capability and qualifications were included in the quality assessment, so suppliers should be ready to demonstrate competent staff, compliant vehicles, safe operating procedures and service reliability. Experience of client review and performance monitoring would also help, because the evaluation referred specifically to client review, attributes and features as well as capability and qualifications.
