Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The buying organisation was Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerned transport activity associated with the Richmond area. The available description identifies the buyer and the transport-services category but does not define particular vehicle types, passenger groups, routes or operating requirements. It is therefore most relevant to businesses providing passenger transport, private-hire vehicles, minicab operations or related transport services for public-sector clients. The appointed supplier, Kingston and London Minicabs Limited Limited, operates as Station Cars Surbiton Ltd in Surbiton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has reached completion and a supplier was selected. It used an open procedure. The award was made to Kingston and London Minicabs Limited Limited for the single lot, with an awarded contract value of £2,391.43. The award and contract were recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. Twenty-one bids were received. Price carried the full 100-point evaluation weighting; quality categories included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This outcome demonstrates demand from a local-authority grouping for contracted transport services in and around the Richmond and Kingston area. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport through a minicab, private-hire or similar operating model, with sufficient vehicles, drivers and dispatch capacity to support public-sector requirements. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that the work can be delivered by a focused local operator rather than only by a national transport company. Because price carried the entire recorded evaluation weighting, cost control and the ability to submit competitive rates would be central to competing. Businesses should also be able to evidence practical transport capability and the qualifications needed for their proposed drivers and operations.
