Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The requirement is described only in broad terms, with no specific passenger group, route, vehicle type or service purpose identified. The buying organisation is based in Kingston upon Thames, and the delivery location is also recorded as Kingston upon Thames. This is a transport-services contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The named buyer combines Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, while the procurement title identifies the London Borough of Richmond. These details indicate a local-authority transport requirement, but the published scope does not define the operational service sufficiently to identify a particular transport specialism.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Sprint Transfers Ltd; the reported contract value is £3,959.14. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026. The award date and contract duration are not recorded in the available process data. There was one lot, but it is marked cancelled even though an active award and contract are recorded against it, so the reported outcome is internally inconsistent. Seven bids were received. Evaluation criteria list price as the stated basis, with quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom measure; the quality entries carry zero descriptions or weightings, while price is shown as 100.

For transport operators serving local-authority customers, this outcome provides evidence of a small-scale transport-services purchase associated with Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston and the London Borough of Richmond. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate that it can deliver the transport service reliably and meet the buyer’s expectations on capability, qualifications, service features and client review, as these areas appear among the evaluation headings. The recorded award indicates that price was the stated determining factor, so a credible competitor would also need a competitive cost base. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this particular award did not require a large corporate provider. However, the scope gives no detail about passenger needs, routes or fleet requirements, so it does not establish a more specific operational capability.
