Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for activity in the Sutton and Kingston upon Thames area. The requirement is described at a broad category level as transport services excluding waste transport, with the London Borough of Sutton named in the procurement title and description. The buyer is a local authority arrangement involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The requirement was structured as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled in the tender information. The selected supplier was Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, a transport and courier business based in Cheam. The procurement therefore indicates demand for general transport provision serving the local authority’s area, rather than a specified vehicle, route or passenger service.

The procurement is complete and has reached award. It used an open procedure under the EU public procurement framework, with price carrying 100% of the evaluation weighting; quality areas included capability, qualifications, features, client review and attributes. Fourteen bids were recorded for the lot. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd received the active award associated with the requirement. The award date was 10 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £5,668.57. The contract is recorded as active. Although the tender record marks the single lot as cancelled, the associated award and contract remain recorded as active, so the procurement outcome is the award to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd.

This procurement is most relevant to established transport operators able to provide general transport services for a local authority and its associated children’s services organisations. The competition attracted 14 bids, indicating a requirement that can draw interest from a range of providers. The evaluation placed the entire weighting on price, so a credible future competitor would need a clearly competitive cost model, reliable operational delivery and the capacity to submit a compliant response through an open procedure. The published quality areas also show that buyers may consider capability, qualifications, service features, attributes and client review evidence when assessing transport suppliers. Businesses with demonstrable local delivery capability and strong customer references would be well placed to monitor similar requirements from this buyer.
