Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement falls within general passenger and other transport services rather than goods, construction or waste transport. The named supplier, Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, is based in Cheam and was selected to provide the service. The procurement is associated with the buyer’s public-service responsibilities across Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The published description is brief, so the precise passenger groups, routes, vehicle types and operating arrangements are not set out here. Businesses operating local transport, passenger transfer or courier and vehicle services would find the requirement most closely aligned with their existing service offer and operational coverage.

This procurement has reached the award stage. It used an open procedure under the Public Contracts Directive framework, with one lot. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award to Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd is active and the associated contract is also active. The award was made on 7 September 2026 for £941.07. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026; its duration is not stated. Evaluation was based on price, weighted at 100%, alongside listed quality areas covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Thirteen bids were recorded for the lot. The buyer is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, acting for the London Borough of Sutton.

This outcome indicates a small, clearly defined transport requirement where price was the decisive evaluation basis. A credible future competitor would need to provide transport services that match the buyer’s operational needs, demonstrate relevant capability and qualifications, and explain the practical features of its service. Evidence from client reviews would also be useful because client feedback was among the quality areas identified in the evaluation. The successful supplier’s profile shows that an established transport and courier business can meet this buyer’s requirement. Businesses considering similar work should therefore focus on dependable local operations, demonstrable service capability, appropriately qualified staff and a competitive cost model, while retaining evidence of previous client performance and the features that distinguish their transport offer.
