Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport, covering activity in Sutton and the surrounding Kingston upon Thames area indicated by the buyer and delivery location. The published scope is described only as transport services for the council; it does not identify specific vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or operating arrangements. This is a service requirement rather than a supply or construction contract. It is therefore relevant to transport operators and providers able to deliver local passenger or other council transport services, subject to the detailed requirements associated with the procurement.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to KINGSTON MINICABS CARS. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and has a value of £1,505.71. The procurement used an open procedure under the open method, with 28 bids recorded. Evaluation was based on price and quality. Price carried 100 points; quality considerations included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award is active and the contract is active. The award relates to the cancelled lot, so businesses should treat the outcome and lot status as requiring careful checking against the underlying procurement terms.

This outcome shows that the buyer uses an open competitive route for local transport services and that a small or medium-sized transport business can be selected. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capability to provide reliable transport in Sutton and the relevant surrounding area, with suitable vehicles, drivers, scheduling and customer-service arrangements. The evaluation emphasis indicates that capability, qualifications, service features, client experience or review evidence and price may all matter. Businesses should be able to demonstrate transport-sector competence clearly and provide evidence that their operating model can meet council requirements. The cancelled lot and active award also make careful interpretation of future specifications particularly important.
