Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement concerned transport services for the organisation identified as Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a regional or local authority based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement was structured as a single lot and related to transport activity associated with the London Borough of Richmond. The available description does not define the passenger groups, routes, vehicle types, operating model or wider service scope. The selected supplier, Airport ontime limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Twickenham. The procurement therefore relates to local-authority transport provision, with the buyer organisation and Richmond connection central to understanding its likely operating context. Businesses specialising in transport services for councils, schools, children’s services or similar public-sector users would be the closest fit.

The procurement reached completion and an award was made to Airport ontime limited for the single lot. The award was dated 28 August 2026 and its value was £442.86. The associated contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and is active. The procedure was an open procedure, evaluated entirely on price: price carried 100% of the stated weighting, while the listed quality attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and custom metric carried no weighting. Eleven bids were recorded for the lot. The tender record marks the lot as cancelled, despite the active award and contract. No contract end date or duration is provided. The buying organisation is recorded as Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, while the requirement title and description refer to the London Borough of Richmond.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to provide transport services to a local-authority buyer and demonstrate that it can operate reliably in the relevant Richmond, Kingston upon Thames and Twickenham context. The award shows that a small or medium-sized supplier was able to secure the work, so the requirement was not limited to a large national operator. The recorded competition of eleven bids indicates that transport providers may face a meaningful field of bidders. The evaluation outcome also shows that price was decisive in this procurement. Suppliers should therefore be able to submit sharply priced, compliant transport services while maintaining the operational capability and qualifications expected for council-related work. The limited published scope means businesses would need to confirm the detailed service specification when a comparable requirement returns.
