Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The release describes the requirement only at this broad level and does not identify the type of passenger or journey, vehicles, routes or operating arrangements. The listed delivery location is coded UKG13, which corresponds to Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire; the supplied information does not establish a more specific place of delivery. This is a local-authority service requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles or other transport equipment. Clocktower Cars was selected as the supplier. The process attracted nine bids, indicating competition for this relatively small transport-services contract. The stated scope is limited to the named buyer and Sutton requirement; suppliers should not infer a wider regional transport service from the delivery-location code.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected: Clocktower Cars. The contract is active and was signed on 30 September 2026. Its recorded contract value is £3,255. The tender used an open procedure. The award criteria identify price as carrying 100% of the evaluation, while quality-related headings are also listed without usable weightings; the published criteria therefore point to price-led assessment. One lot is shown, but its status is cancelled, despite the active award and contract recorded against it. This creates a conflict in the process information, so the award and signed contract are reported as the outcome without assuming that the lot status was corrected. The recorded scope and contract information do not provide a contract duration or an end date.

For transport operators serving local-authority requirements, this award is evidence that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston has bought transport services through an open competition and that Clocktower Cars was selected. Nine bids were recorded, so a future supplier would need to compete effectively against multiple operators. The evaluation information indicates that price was decisive, making a credible costed offer important. The service description is broad and gives no operational detail from which to infer particular vehicle types, passenger groups, route coverage, fleet size, staffing, safeguarding duties, licences or accreditations. Suppliers should therefore assess their fit against the specific scope and operating requirements if this buyer’s transport need returns to market, rather than assuming that unrelated transport capabilities alone will be sufficient. The small recorded contract value suggests a modest contract in financial terms, though it does not establish the volume or intensity of transport required.»
