Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The published scope gives no further description of the journeys, passengers, vehicle requirements or service purpose, so the identified requirement is transport provision for the borough rather than a defined transport mode or route. The delivery location is recorded as Kingston upon Thames. The contract was awarded to Rosehillcars, a Carshalton-based supplier. This is a local transport-services requirement, relevant to operators able to provide transport for a local authority and its associated children’s services. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active.

The procurement is recorded as complete and was run through an open procedure. Rosehillcars was selected for the Sutton transport-services contract; nine bids were recorded. The award date and contract signing date were 26 October 2026. The contract value is £2,878.13. No contract start or end date is recorded, so the period of performance cannot be stated. The process was divided into one lot, which is marked cancelled, despite the active award and contract records. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, with a 100 per cent weighting; quality criteria were listed but each carried a weighting of zero. The available outcome data therefore identifies the supplier and price-led evaluation basis, while the lot status conflicts with the active award and contract status.

This outcome is useful to local transport operators assessing the kind of requirement Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston buys: transport services for the London Borough of Sutton, awarded to a Carshalton-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The recorded competition attracted nine bids, and price was decisive in the evaluation, so a credible future competitor would need to offer a competitive cost alongside the ability to deliver dependable local-authority transport. The stated scope does not establish a particular vehicle type, passenger group, route pattern, operating capacity, licence, accreditation or specialist experience; suppliers should not infer these from the award alone. The single-lot structure points to competition for the requirement as one package, rather than separate service lots. This award is evidence of a local transport purchase, not an invitation to compete for the completed contract.
