Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Sutton procured transport services, with Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston named as the buyer. The procurement description identifies the borough rather than explaining the journeys, passengers or service requirements, so the stated scope is transport provision for this local authority. Delivery was associated with the lot and the location data points to the West Midlands. The award went to TRI PHOENIX LTD, a London-based supplier. The classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. The available procurement description does not identify a specific passenger group or type of transport, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide transport services to a local authority, subject to the detailed requirements established for this buying arrangement.

The procurement is complete and a contract is active. Sutton used an open procedure, evaluated on price, with quality criteria also listed for attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom measure; each quality criterion is recorded with a zero description and no further weighting can be inferred. The award was made to TRI PHOENIX LTD for the single lot. The contract value is £2,922.86. The contract was signed on 11 October 2026; no contract end date or duration is recorded. The buyer received 13 bids. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active; no cancellation explanation is provided, so the outcome data is inconsistent.

This award shows that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston bought transport services through an open competition and selected a supplier on price, with quality dimensions also listed. A supplier considering comparable work for this buyer would need to demonstrate a credible, cost-competitive transport offer and be ready to address capability, qualifications, service features, client review and other quality considerations. The successful supplier was a London-based SME, indicating that a smaller provider was able to win this contract; the recorded contract value suggests a modest individual requirement rather than a large-scale programme. The notice gives no passenger or journey specification, so businesses should not assume that this was school transport, accessible transport or any other particular service type.
