Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Sutton, with the requirement associated with Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The buyer is a local authority organisation serving public services in the Sutton and Kingston area. The published scope is broad rather than a detailed description of particular routes, passengers, vehicles or transport modes. It is therefore most relevant to transport operators and providers able to deliver contracted local-authority transport services. The appointed supplier, Sherwood Cars Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Raynes Park. The requirement falls within the transport services category and was arranged as a single lot.

The procurement has reached completion and was awarded through an open procedure. The award is active and the contract is active. Sherwood Cars Ltd was selected as supplier for the transport services requirement. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 for £63,251.14 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. Thirteen bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation placed 100% of the stated weighting on price; the quality criteria covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and active contract are also recorded against it. No contract end date or duration is provided.

For a transport operator, this award demonstrates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for local-authority transport delivered through an open competition. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can provide reliable transport services at the required operational scale, with clear service features and relevant capability. The evaluation also indicates that evidence of qualifications and positive client review can support credibility, even though price was the sole stated weighted basis for award. Providers of different sizes may be relevant: the selected supplier is an SME. Businesses tracking this buyer should understand its service expectations, prepare concise evidence of capability and qualifications, and maintain competitive pricing for a comparable transport requirement.
