Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The requirement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport, covering activity delivered in Warwickshire. The procurement was arranged by the local authority buyer, whose address is in Kingston upon Thames. The published description identifies the contracting requirement only as London Borough of Richmond, so the practical scope is a transport service associated with that organisation rather than a specified vehicle, passenger group, route network or operating model. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are transport service providers able to support local-authority requirements and operate in or into the stated delivery area. The selected supplier, Angel Carriers Limited, is based in London and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has reached a completed stage. It used an open procedure under the Public Contracts Directive and was divided into one lot. That lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and active contract are recorded against it. Angel Carriers Limited was awarded the contract on 3 September 2026. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and has a value of £3,100. The award used price as the stated 100% evaluation basis; quality categories including attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric were also listed with zero weighting. Twenty bids were recorded for the lot. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement provides evidence that Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston buys transport services for the London Borough of Richmond through an open competitive procedure. The successful supplier was Angel Carriers Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be served by an SME rather than only a large transport group. A credible future competitor would need to provide transport services suited to local-authority use, demonstrate practical capability and qualifications, and present a competitive price. Experience of responding to quality areas such as service attributes, client review, operational features and capability would help address the evaluation structure. Providers able to cover Warwickshire and coordinate with the buyer in Kingston upon Thames are particularly relevant.
