Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covered transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The published requirement is described only at a broad level, without a more detailed account of the vehicles, passenger groups, routes or operating model. The buying organisation is identified as Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a regional or local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The service category is transport services excluding waste transport. The named supplier, Angel carriers limited, is based in London and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was structured as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while an active award is also recorded against it. The procurement therefore indicates demand for local-authority transport provision connected with Richmond and the surrounding public-service organisations.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is recorded as complete. It used an open procedure. Evaluation gave 100% of the stated weighting to price; quality criteria covered attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Eighteen bids were recorded for the lot. Angel carriers limited was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026, with an awarded and contracted value of £2,834.29 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The single lot itself is marked cancelled, creating a contradictory outcome alongside the active award. The award relates to that cancelled lot, and no separate award values or contract periods are recorded.

For a competitor, this outcome provides a clear indication that the buyer’s requirement can be met by a small or medium-sized transport operator serving public-sector organisations in the London area. A credible supplier would need to offer competitively priced transport services and demonstrate the capability, qualifications and service features that the evaluation framework identified, even though price was the decisive stated criterion here. Evidence that supports client review and service attributes would also help establish reliability with a local authority and its associated children’s services organisation. The recorded winner is a London-based SME, suggesting that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large national transport company. Future market intelligence should focus on this buyer’s local transport needs and procurement route.
