Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, delivered in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was classified as transport services excluding waste transport. The buyer is a local authority serving Kingston and the surrounding public-service area. The selected supplier, ADAPTIVE WHEELS LTD, is based in Sutton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the stated Royal Borough of Kingston service, rather than a wider range of separately described goods, works or professional services. Businesses operating passenger or specialist transport services in Kingston upon Thames, particularly those able to demonstrate relevant service attributes, operational capability and appropriate qualifications, would be the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made to ADAPTIVE WHEELS LTD. The award date was 10 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract value is £3,764.29. The process used an open procedure under the services category. Ten bids were recorded for the requirement. Evaluation placed 100% of the weighting on price; the published quality headings covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each recorded without a separate weighting. The award relates to the Kingston requirement. The contracting authority is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, operating from Kingston upon Thames. The contract is recorded as active.

This award confirms a small-scale transport requirement from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with competition attracting ten bids. A credible future competitor would need to offer a price-led proposal while presenting clear evidence under the same broad quality headings: service attributes, relevant features, operational capability, qualifications, client review evidence and any required bespoke measures. Transport providers should be able to explain how their service meets the buyer’s stated requirements in Kingston upon Thames and support claims with concise, verifiable evidence from comparable clients. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that the requirement was accessible to a smaller business, so firms with focused transport capability and the capacity to deliver the specified local service should regard this buyer and requirement as a relevant market signal.
