Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The available description is limited to the authority name and the broad transport-services category, rather than a detailed specification of journeys, passengers, vehicles or operating requirements. The named buying organisation is Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, a local-authority group based in Kingston upon Thames. The procurement title identifies Richmond as the service area or commissioning context. The contracted supplier, Airport ontime limited, is based in Twickenham. Businesses considering comparable requirements should therefore be transport operators able to provide services for a local-authority environment, with the operational scope to be confirmed from the underlying procurement information.

The process reached the completed, awarded stage through an open procedure. Twelve bids were recorded. The evaluation placed 100% of the weighting on price; the published quality headings were attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while an active award was made to Airport ontime limited. The associated contract was signed on 22 September 2026 for £3,542.86 including the stated currency of GBP. The release records no contract end date or service duration. The award and contract are therefore the relevant outcome, despite the conflicting lot status. No separate award date is recorded.

This outcome shows a local-authority buyer using an open competition for a transport-services requirement, with price carrying the full published evaluation weighting. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the practical capability to deliver transport services reliably, meet the buyer’s qualification requirements and present clear service features and attributes. Evidence from client reviews would support the quality headings used in the evaluation, even though those headings did not carry published weighting in this process. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was within the scale of an SME transport operator. Cost control and a concise, well-supported commercial offer would be central to competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer.
