Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, with delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is described only in broad terms, so the published details do not identify a particular passenger group, route, vehicle type or operating arrangement. The buyer is a partnership serving Sutton and Kingston, including Achieving for Children. The procurement was classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. This is relevant to transport operators able to provide services for a local authority in Kingston; the award shows that this buyer has purchased transport provision through a competitive procurement.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Chelsea Cars UK Limited under an open procedure. The award was dated 22 October 2026, and the active contract was signed on the same date. Its recorded value is £3,631.43. The process was divided into one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome therefore identifies a supplier and contract despite the lot status. Ten bids were recorded. Price was the stated decisive evaluation criterion, with a 100 weighting; quality headings included capability, qualifications, features, attributes and client review, but each was assigned a zero description. No contract period is recorded.

For transport operators, this award is evidence that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston buys transport services for the Royal Borough of Kingston, and that a small supplier was selected from a field of ten bids. The stated evaluation put the decision on price, while also listing capability, qualifications, features, attributes and client review as quality headings. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate it can deliver the specified transport service reliably in Kingston and submit a competitive price, while showing relevant operational capability and staff qualifications. The broad description does not establish a particular vehicle fleet, passenger profile or route model, so suppliers should not assume those formed part of this contract. The modest recorded contract value indicates a small-scale award rather than a large transport operation.
