## Summary

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering the provision of transport rather than goods, construction or waste carriage. The buying organisation is the local authority partnership of Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, based in Kingston upon Thames. The awarded supplier, Sherwood Cars Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Raynes Park. The available scope is broad: the published description identifies the buyer and transport services but does not set out specific passenger groups, vehicle types, routes or operating requirements. This is therefore most relevant to transport operators and car or passenger-transport businesses able to deliver services for a local authority in the Sutton area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender used one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. Sherwood Cars Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £33,354. Twenty bids were recorded for the lot. Evaluation was entirely price-based: price carried 100% of the award basis, while listed quality areas included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each recorded with zero weighting. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract duration is stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a local-authority requirement for transport services in the Sutton area and shows that an SME transport operator secured the work. It is commercially relevant to businesses that provide passenger or other local transport services and can work with public-sector purchasing arrangements. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capability and qualifications expected in the tender, provide suitable service features and attributes, and offer evidence that can withstand client review. Because price carried the full stated evaluation weighting, cost control and the ability to submit a competitive, clearly structured price would be central to competing for a similar requirement. The recorded competition, with 20 bids, also indicates that transport suppliers may need a disciplined tender response as well as operational capacity.
