Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement concerns transport services for Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, the buying organisation based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is associated with the London Borough of Richmond and is classified as general transport services rather than waste transport. It was arranged as a single lot and appears to relate to local passenger or booked-vehicle transport, although the published description does not give a more detailed service specification. The work is connected with the buyer’s public-service activities and the lot’s delivery area is identified by an internal regional reference. The selected supplier, Kingston and London Minicabs Limited Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Surbiton and operates the Station Cars Surbiton business.

The procurement has reached the completed and awarded stage. It used an open procedure, with price carrying the published evaluation weighting; quality factors included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Ten bids were recorded for the lot. Kingston and London Minicabs Limited Limited was selected as supplier. The associated contract is active and was signed on 30 July 2026, for £3,011.43 including the stated GBP currency. The process records one lot, whose status is also shown as cancelled, alongside the active award and contract. The published data does not set out a contract duration or separate award date. The procedure is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award provides a clear indication of the buyer’s demand for locally delivered transport services procured through an open competition. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable booked-vehicle or passenger transport, demonstrate operational capability and relevant staff qualifications, and satisfy the buyer’s requirements around service features and client review. The successful supplier is an SME based in Surbiton, suggesting that a smaller local operator can compete for this type of public-sector requirement. Commercial strength on price is particularly important because price was the decisive published evaluation basis, while quality evidence still covered capability, qualifications, service attributes and customer experience. Suppliers with established local coverage, suitable vehicles, reliable dispatch and booking arrangements, and evidence of consistent service delivery would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
