Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, with delivery based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and was arranged as a single service lot. The published description identifies the contracting requirement only as Royal Borough of Kingston, so the operational scope is best understood as transport provision for the borough rather than a specified vehicle, passenger or route service. The buyer is a regional or local public authority working across Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. This opportunity is therefore relevant to transport operators able to provide services in Kingston upon Thames and engage with a local-authority buyer.

The procurement reached completion and an active award was made to Chelsea Cars UK Limited. The award was dated 1 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 23 August 2026 for £2,856.43 including the stated contract value. It used an open procedure under the Open procedure method. The procurement was divided into one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. Evaluation was entirely price-based, with price carrying 100% of the stated weighting; quality criteria covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric were listed but carried no weighting. The process received 33 bids. No contract duration is stated.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for transport services in Kingston upon Thames, with a small and medium-sized transport supplier selected through an open procedure. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to operate transport services suitable for local-authority delivery and demonstrate capability, qualifications and service features clearly, even though price was the decisive evaluated factor here. The competition attracted 33 bids, indicating that suppliers from a broad field considered the requirement. Businesses reviewing this buyer should be prepared for a strongly price-led competition, while presenting evidence of reliable transport delivery, relevant service attributes, positive client experience and the organisational capability to meet public-sector requirements.
