Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement falls within general passenger and other transport services, excluding waste transport. It was structured as a single lot and concerned services for the council area. The published description does not give operational detail about the vehicles, passenger groups, routes, journey volumes or service model. The buyer is a regional or local authority partnership involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, based in Kingston upon Thames. The selected supplier, Clockwise Travel Group Ltd, is a large transport business based in Worcester Park. The opportunity is therefore relevant to transport operators and providers able to deliver council-related transport services for Sutton and its associated public-service organisations.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage. It used an open procedure under the GPA, with price carrying the full stated weighting; quality headings covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Twenty bids were recorded. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, but an active award was made to Clockwise Travel Group Ltd and an active contract is recorded against it. The contract value is £3,653.57 including the published currency of GBP, and it was signed on 7 September 2026. The award record does not provide a separate award date or contract end date. The outcome should therefore be read with care: the tender lot status is cancelled while the award and signed contract are active.

For a supplier assessing future council transport work, this procurement demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston and shows that the requirement attracted substantial competition, with 20 bids. A credible competitor would need to provide transport services that can satisfy public-sector operational requirements and demonstrate capability, relevant qualifications, service features, positive client experience and suitable organisational attributes. The evaluation structure indicates that price was decisive in the recorded criteria, so cost control and a clear, deliverable pricing model would be important alongside service evidence. The selected provider was a large established transport company, suggesting that bidders should be able to show dependable delivery capacity, robust service management and experience suitable for council-related transport provision.
