Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement falls within general passenger and other transport services, rather than waste transport. The procurement was organised as a single requirement, with activity associated with the buyer’s local public-service operations. The named buyer is a regional or local authority covering Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The selected supplier, Sprint transfers Ltd, is a small or medium-sized transport business based in Horley and trading as Sprint Airport Transfers. The available description identifies the buyer and transport category, but does not define specific vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or operating arrangements.

The procurement reached completion through an open procedure. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. Sprint transfers Ltd received the award on 13 August 2026, with a contract value of £3,507.43. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026; no contract end date is stated. Evaluation was entirely price-based, with price carrying 100% of the stated weighting. Quality headings also listed attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each recorded with zero weighting. Ten bids were recorded for the lot. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award shows a local-authority requirement for transport services that attracted ten bids and was won by an SME, indicating that smaller specialist operators can compete for this type of public-sector work. A credible future competitor would need reliable transport operations, suitable vehicles and drivers, and the capacity to deliver consistently for a public-service buyer. Evidence of capability, qualifications, service features, client reviews and relevant operating attributes may help demonstrate suitability, even though those quality areas carried no scored weighting in this procurement. The decisive commercial lesson is price: a supplier returning to this buyer would need tight cost control and a clear ability to provide dependable transport at a competitive rate.
