Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Richmond. The tender record gives no further description of the transport requirement, so the specific passengers, routes or service arrangements cannot be established from the available procurement details. The delivery location is identified as Kingston upon Thames. The purchasing organisation is named as Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston, while the tender title refers to the London Borough of Richmond.

The procurement is recorded as complete and awarded. KB Radio Cars Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a recorded value of £1,727.14. The process used an open procedure. Price accounted for 100% of the stated evaluation weighting; quality criteria were listed for attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric, each with a weighting of zero. Twelve bids were recorded. The lot is marked cancelled even though an active award and contract are recorded, so the published outcome data contains conflicting status information.

This award shows a small-scale transport-services requirement associated with Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston and the London Borough of Richmond, with delivery linked to Kingston upon Thames. KB Radio Cars Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide transport services and compete strongly on price, since price carried the full stated evaluation weighting. The listed quality dimensions—capability, qualifications, service features, client review, attributes and a custom measure—indicate areas a supplier may need to address, although they were assigned no evaluation weight in this process. The available description does not identify passenger groups, vehicle types, routes or operating requirements, so it does not establish more specific capability demands.
