Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. The published description names the borough but gives no further detail about passenger groups, routes, vehicle requirements or the purpose of the journeys. The delivery address is associated with Kingston upon Thames. This is a local-authority requirement, so transport operators serving the borough and able to provide services for public-sector clients are the closest fit. The category is transport services (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected. It used an open procedure. Herts and London Minicabs Limited was named as the successful supplier. The contract is active and was signed on 24 September 2026, with a contract value of £5,225.71. The tender was divided into one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the associated award and contract are active. Sixteen bids were recorded. Price was the stated basis for evaluation; quality criteria were also listed, but their descriptions carry zero values. The award relates to the single lot, and no award date or contract duration is recorded.

For a supplier considering similar future work for Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, this outcome shows demand for local transport services in Kingston upon Thames and that the contract went to a minicab operator. The recorded competition attracted 16 bids, so a credible competitor would need to demonstrate a commercially competitive offer as well as the practical ability to deliver transport locally. The evaluation record gives price as the decisive criterion, while also naming attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom measure as quality considerations without showing how they were assessed. Operators with relevant local coverage and demonstrable transport capability are best aligned with this requirement. The published scope does not identify particular passenger groups, routes or fleet specifications, so the result supports a general transport-services comparison rather than a more specialised one.
