Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This is a local-authority transport services contract associated with the London Borough of Richmond. The procurement data names Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston as the buyer, and lists delivery in the borough of Kingston upon Thames. The requirement is described only in broad terms as transport services; it does not identify the journeys, passengers, routes, vehicles or operating arrangements. It is therefore most relevant to passenger transport and vehicle hire operators serving local public-sector requirements, though the precise service scope cannot be established from the published description.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected. Clocktower Cars was awarded the contract. The recorded contract value is £3,321.43, and it was signed on 23 September 2026; no contract end date or duration is recorded. The procedure was open. There was one lot, although its status is recorded as cancelled while the associated award and contract are active, so the published outcome is internally inconsistent. Eight bids were reported. Price was the stated decisive evaluation basis, weighted at 100%; quality categories were also listed, but each had a recorded value of zero. The buyer is identified as Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, despite the contract title referring to the London Borough of Richmond.

The award shows that this buyer has procured transport services and selected a transport operator through an open competition. Eight bids indicate competition for the requirement. A future credible supplier would need to demonstrate that it can provide the relevant transport service reliably and at a competitive price, since price was the recorded basis of evaluation. The published description does not establish whether the work involved school, passenger or other transport, nor what vehicle types, capacity, licences, service standards or operating experience were required. Transport businesses may find the award relevant as evidence of local public-sector demand, but should establish the precise service specification and operational requirements before judging fit.
