Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston. The published scope identifies the borough as the requirement but gives no further breakdown of the journeys, passengers or transport arrangements. Delivery was in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement was run as one lot, covering the transport requirement as a single package. The work is relevant to passenger transport operators able to serve the borough; the award shows that a transport supplier was selected for this requirement. The buyer is the local authority partnership of Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The service category is transport, rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used an open procedure, with one lot. Sprint transfers Ltd was selected for that lot. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and is valued at £5,491.43. No contract start or end date is recorded. Evaluation criteria listed quality attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, alongside price; the published weight assigns 100 to price and zero to each listed quality criterion, making price the stated basis of evaluation. Two bids were received. The lot is recorded as cancelled in the tender data, although the award is active and an active contract is reported; these status details conflict, while the published outcome identifies Sprint transfers Ltd as the awarded supplier.

This award provides a direct indication of demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for transport serving the Royal Borough of Kingston. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver transport in Kingston upon Thames and demonstrate an offer that competes strongly on price: price carried the full stated evaluation weighting, while the listed quality factors carried none. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized transport business, showing that the requirement was awarded to an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large operator. The modest scale of the reported contract points to a focused transport opportunity, not a major network contract. Transport firms with the capacity to serve the borough and submit a price-led offer are the closest match to the demonstrated supplier profile.
