Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The named buyer was Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority organisation based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport, and was arranged as a single lot. The available description identifies the buyer and broad service category rather than a detailed operational service model, so the relevant market includes businesses able to provide transport services to a local-authority client under public-sector contract conditions. The procurement was associated with Sutton, although the buyer organisation also represents Achieving for Children and Kingston. The service category may be relevant to transport operators, specialist passenger transport providers and other suppliers with suitable public-sector delivery capability.

The procurement reached completion through an open procedure. Sixteen bids were recorded. The evaluation gave 100% of the weighting to price, with quality criteria listed for attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The single lot was marked cancelled, while an active award was recorded to KTF group UK Ltd. The award was associated with that lot and the contract was signed on 20 August 2026. The recorded contract value is £575.71 including the stated currency of GBP. The award outcome therefore identifies KTF group UK Ltd as the selected supplier, despite the lot status being shown as cancelled. No contract duration or separate award date is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement is useful market evidence for transport businesses tracking local-authority demand in Sutton. The successful supplier profile indicates that a credible competitor would need to combine a competitive price with demonstrable capability and qualifications, rather than relying on price alone in broader supplier positioning. The stated quality headings show that buyers may examine service attributes, features, client feedback or review performance, capability and staff or organisational qualifications. Transport operators should therefore be able to evidence reliable delivery, relevant experience, qualified personnel, service features and positive client outcomes in a concise tender response. The process also shows that this buyer used an open procedure and assessed a substantial field of bidders, making clear compliance and competitive pricing important for future comparable requirements.
