Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The published scope identifies the service category but gives no further operational description of the journeys, passengers or vehicles involved. The contracting authority is the local public-sector partnership named above. The delivery location is recorded as Kingston upon Thames, although the procurement data does not explain the relationship between that place and the service’s operating area. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The work is transport provision rather than a goods purchase or construction project, so it is most relevant to passenger or local transport operators able to serve public-sector requirements in Sutton and the stated delivery area.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected: Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 9 October 2026, with a recorded value of £3,011.43. The award date is not separately stated. The process used an open procedure. It was divided into one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled despite the active award and contract, so the outcome information is inconsistent. The sole stated award criterion was price, weighted at 100%; quality criteria were also listed, but each carried a stated weight of zero. Ten bids were recorded for the lot. No contract period is provided, so the duration of the arrangement cannot be established from the published terms.

This award provides a small-scale example of Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston purchasing transport services through an open competition. The selected supplier was Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, and the recorded evaluation placed all stated weight on price, with no effective quality weighting. A future competitor would therefore need to price competitively and be able to deliver transport services for this public-sector buyer. The requirement’s operational detail is limited, so the published information does not establish particular vehicle types, passenger groups, routes, service levels, accreditations or capacity thresholds. Transport businesses with cost-efficient operations and the ability to respond to an openly competed local authority requirement are the clearest fit; there is no evidence here to infer additional technical or compliance requirements.
