Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for delivery in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement is categorised as transport services rather than goods, works or a specialist transport infrastructure project. The published title refers to the London Borough of Richmond, but the named buying organisation is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local authority group based in Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is presented as a single transport-services lot. The available description does not define the passenger or cargo service, routes, vehicle types or operating model, so businesses should assess the underlying specification before treating this as a close match. The selected supplier, Airport ontime limited, is based in Twickenham and is identified as an SME.

The procurement has completed through an open procedure. Sixteen bids were recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. An active award was made to Airport ontime limited for the transport-services lot. The associated contract is active, was signed on 4 September 2026, and is valued at £3,540.64. The release records the single lot as cancelled, while also recording the active award and contract against it; no cancellation reason is provided. The award and contract data do not state a contract end date or duration. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates a small-scale transport requirement from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, with a low contract value and a competitive response of 16 bids. A credible future competitor would need to provide transport services that satisfy the buyer’s operational specification, demonstrate relevant capability and qualifications, and offer a competitive price, since price carried the full stated evaluation weighting. Evidence addressing service attributes, client review, features, capability and qualifications would still be commercially relevant even though those quality headings did not carry published weighting in the evaluation. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller transport business. Providers serving Kingston upon Thames and nearby areas, including Twickenham, may therefore find the buyer and requirement worth monitoring for similar demand.
