Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. The requirement is described at a high level as transport services excluding waste transport, with delivery in Kingston upon Thames. It was classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is a regional or local authority serving Kingston and associated public services. The procurement was arranged as a single lot covering the Royal Borough of Kingston. The available description does not identify particular passenger groups, vehicle types, routes, operating requirements or service outputs, so businesses should treat this as a broad local transport requirement rather than a clearly defined specialist transport contract.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage and is marked complete. It used an open procedure. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, but the associated award is active and names KB Radio Cars Ltd as supplier. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 for £1,771.43. Seventeen bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality categories covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The contracting process was subject to the Government Procurement Agreement. The award is linked to the Royal Borough of Kingston requirement, although the published outcome presents the lot status and active award together.

This outcome indicates demand for local transport services from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with competition attracting 17 bids and a small or medium-sized radio-car operator being selected. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate transport capability, relevant staff qualifications and service features, alongside a strong approach to client review and measurable quality attributes. The evaluation placed all stated weight on price, so cost control and the ability to provide a commercially competitive service would be central. Businesses should assess whether they can deliver transport in Kingston upon Thames and evidence capability and qualifications clearly enough to compete with established local operators.
