Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport and was organised as a single requirement. The buyer is a local authority serving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with the procurement associated with its public service operations. The selected supplier, Sherwood Cars Ltd, is based in Raynes Park and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement information identifies Kingston upon Thames as the buyer’s address. The service relates to transport provision rather than vehicles, construction or waste collection, so it is most relevant to passenger transport operators, car and taxi companies, and other businesses able to deliver managed transport services for a public-sector client.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is recorded as complete. It used an open procedure. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is marked cancelled, although an active award and contract are recorded for Sherwood Cars Ltd. The award was made on 14 September 2026, with a contract value of £35,222.57 including the published currency of GBP; the contract was signed on the same date. Twenty-three bids were recorded. Evaluation placed 100% weighting on price, with quality categories covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract duration is stated in the available process information.

This outcome indicates demand for relatively small-scale public-sector transport services from a local authority group, with an SME securing the award. A credible future competitor would need reliable operational capability, appropriately qualified staff and the ability to demonstrate relevant service features and customer-facing attributes. The evaluation structure shows that price was decisive in this procurement, while capability, qualifications, client review and other quality attributes formed the stated quality areas. Transport operators should therefore be able to evidence dependable delivery, suitable personnel, service quality and positive client experience, while maintaining competitive pricing. The buyer’s use of an open procedure and receipt of 23 bids suggests that suppliers competing for similar work should be prepared for broad competition and a clearly evidenced, cost-effective service offer.
