Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for activity connected with London Borough of Richmond. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport. The service is associated with the buyer organisation based in Kingston upon Thames, and the awarded supplier, Clockwise Travel Group Ltd, is based in Worcester Park. The available description identifies the buyer and transport-service category but does not provide a detailed service model, vehicle specification, passenger group or operating route. This is therefore relevant primarily to businesses providing passenger or general transport services that can work with a local-authority buyer and support delivery connected with Richmond and the surrounding area.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made to Clockwise Travel Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 15 August 2026 for £4,774, with the contract recorded as active. The award relates to the sole lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled. The procedure was an open procedure. Evaluation gave 100% of the stated weighting to price, alongside quality areas covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Twelve bids were recorded for the lot. The procurement was run by Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, while the tender title referred to London Borough of Richmond. No contract duration or award date was recorded separately from the signing date.

This outcome indicates a defined local-authority demand for transport services at a small contract scale, with competition from a substantial field of 12 bidders and price carrying the full stated weighting. A future competitor would need to present a clear, cost-effective transport offer and demonstrate credible capability, relevant qualifications, service features and positive client experience, since these were the quality areas identified in the evaluation. Transport operators with the operational capacity to serve public-sector requirements around Richmond and the Kingston upon Thames area would be best placed to assess comparable work. The award to Clockwise Travel Group Ltd also shows that an established transport business can compete successfully for this buyer’s requirement.
