Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement concerns general passenger or other transport activity rather than goods, construction or waste transport. The delivery location is recorded under the procurement, with the buyer based in Kingston upon Thames. The selected supplier, K.A.T. Transport Limited, is based in Croydon and is classified as a large organisation. The available description does not break the requirement into routes, vehicle types, passenger groups or operating arrangements, so businesses should assess the underlying specifications before drawing conclusions about the precise service model. This opportunity is relevant to established transport operators able to provide services for a local-authority buyer.

The procurement used an open procedure. It has reached the awarded stage: K.A.T. Transport Limited was selected, with an active award linked to the single lot. The award value is £4,340 and the contract is active; it was signed on 28 August 2026. The tender record also marks the lot as cancelled, so the published outcome contains conflicting status information that should be checked against the contractual documents. Fifteen bids were recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each recorded with zero weighting. No contract duration or award date is stated.

This procurement demonstrates a public-sector requirement for transport services from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, and shows that the buyer attracted competition from a substantial supplier pool. The successful organisation is a large transport business, indicating that bidders with established operational capacity and the ability to support local-authority service delivery can be credible competitors. Businesses preparing for a future requirement of this kind should be able to evidence transport capability, relevant staff qualifications, service features, client experience and a reliable delivery model, while remaining competitive on price. Operators based in or able to serve the relevant local area may be well placed, particularly where they can demonstrate dependable vehicles, scheduling, compliance and capacity for public-sector account management.
