Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement concerned transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The named buyer was Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority group serving Sutton and Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was associated with delivery in the London Borough of Sutton area. The published scope is broad and does not identify particular vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or operating arrangements. It was classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The procurement was arranged as a single lot for the London Borough of Sutton, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while an active award is also recorded against it.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is recorded as complete. It used an open procedure. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd was awarded the contract associated with the Sutton requirement. The award is recorded as active, with a contract value of £40,435.71 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026. Evaluation placed 100% of the weighting on price; the listed quality areas were attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Twenty bids were recorded for the lot. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, despite the active award and contract.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Sutton local-authority group for a transport operator able to deliver services in the London Borough of Sutton area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need suitable transport capability, reliable operational capacity and the qualifications expected for the particular services. The evaluation outcome shows that price was decisive in this procurement, so cost control and the ability to submit a competitive, well-supported price would be central. The selected supplier was recorded as a large business, while the requirement attracted 20 bids, indicating a competitive market. Providers should also be able to work through an open procurement procedure and evidence their capability clearly.
