Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The tender gives no further description of the transport requirement, so the precise passengers, routes and service arrangements cannot be identified from the available scope. The buying organisation is a partnership involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The procurement was structured as one lot and classified as transport services. This identifies an opportunity for transport operators, but the published scope does not establish whether the work involved passenger transport, vehicle provision or another specific transport service.

The procurement is recorded as complete and awarded to Zedcarz Limited, with an active contract. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and is valued at £2,657.14. The tender used an open procedure. Evaluation placed the full stated weighting on price; quality headings included capability, qualifications, features, attributes and client review, but their published weightings were zero. Thirteen bids were recorded. The procurement was divided into one lot, which is marked cancelled even though an active award and contract are recorded against it. The award itself is active; the conflicting lot status means the lot outcome is unclear.

For transport businesses, this award shows that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston have bought a transport service in Kingston upon Thames through an open procedure, with price as the stated basis for award. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to offer a competitive price and demonstrate the practical capability and relevant qualifications to deliver transport reliably. The tender's quality headings also point to features and client review as areas considered, although they carried no stated evaluation weighting in this procurement. The brief does not identify particular vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or service levels, so the award does not support claims about specialist transport capabilities. The selected supplier was a local SME, providing a useful indication of the scale of business that competed successfully.
