Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston commissioned transport services under a requirement titled London Borough of Richmond. The procurement covers general transport services rather than waste transport, with the activity associated with the London Borough of Richmond. The buyer is a regional or local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. Airport ontime limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Twickenham, was identified as the supplier. The requirement sits within the transport services market and may be relevant to operators, transport management businesses and specialist providers able to deliver reliable passenger or other non-waste transport services for a public-sector client. The recorded scope is broad, so businesses would need to check the underlying requirements before assessing a precise service fit.

The procurement has reached completion, and the single lot is recorded as cancelled. Despite that lot status, an active award was recorded to Airport ontime limited, with an award date of 25 August 2026. The associated contract was signed on 25 August 2026 for £2,876.36. It used an open procedure, with price carrying the full stated weighting of 100%; quality criteria included attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Seventeen bids were recorded for the lot. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome is therefore unusual: the lot is cancelled while the award and contract remain recorded as active. No separate contract end date or duration is provided in the process data.

This outcome confirms a public-sector requirement for transport services from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, and shows that a small or medium-sized specialist operator can be selected for this buyer’s requirement. A credible competitor would need demonstrable transport capability, relevant qualifications, suitable service features and a strong record that can withstand client review. Because the stated evaluation gave all weighting to price, cost control and a clear, competitive pricing model would be central, alongside evidence that service quality and capability requirements are met. Transport operators with the operational capacity to provide dependable services for a local-authority client, and with evidence addressing the named quality areas, would be best placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
