Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. The requirement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and the work is associated with Kingston upon Thames. The buying organisation is a regional or local authority serving the Kingston area. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, covering transport activity rather than the supply of goods or construction works. This is relevant to businesses that operate passenger, contracted or other non-waste transport services and can support local-authority requirements in and around Kingston upon Thames. The selected supplier, Clocktower Cars, is based in Epsom, indicating a local or nearby operating base was compatible with the requirement.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and is marked complete. It used an open procedure. Six bids were recorded. The requirement was evaluated on price and quality, with price carrying 100% of the stated weighting; quality areas included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The award for the Kingston lot went to Clocktower Cars, with an award status of active. The associated contract is active, valued at £4,982.14, and was signed on 10 August 2026. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract remain active. No contract end date or duration is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement provides a useful benchmark for transport operators targeting local-authority work for Kingston upon Thames. A credible competitor would need to deliver reliable transport services against a public-sector specification, demonstrate relevant capability and qualifications, and provide evidence that can withstand client review. The evaluation also shows that the buyer considered service attributes and features alongside capability, qualifications and price, so operators should be able to explain their service model clearly and evidence quality in a structured response. Clocktower Cars’ selection indicates that a transport business with an operating base close to Kingston can serve this buyer. The six recorded bids show that the requirement attracted competition, making cost control and clear differentiation commercially important.
