Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The requirement is classified as general transport services rather than vehicle supply, construction or passenger infrastructure. The stated procurement title and description identify the council area, but do not define particular routes, passenger groups, vehicle types or operating arrangements. The buying organisation is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local public authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The work is associated with the London Borough of Richmond, although the published delivery location is represented only by an internal regional code. The selected supplier, Car Service (London) Limited trading as Courier Cars, is a London-based SME.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Car Service (London) Limited trading as Courier Cars. The associated contract is active, was signed on 14 September 2026, and has a value of £3,963.57. The process used an open procedure. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality areas also listed covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Six bids were recorded for the relevant lot. The lot itself is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the linked award and contract are recorded as active; businesses should therefore treat the award and signed contract as the operative outcome.

This award indicates a requirement that can be delivered by a small transport operator serving the London area. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need the operational capacity to provide reliable transport services, demonstrate capability and relevant staff qualifications, and present evidence that supports client review and service features. The evaluation record shows that price was decisive, so cost control and a clear, competitive pricing model would be important alongside service quality. Experience of working with public-sector clients, dependable vehicle and driver arrangements, and the ability to evidence performance against defined service attributes would strengthen a future response.
