The project involves providing public road transport services in London over a six-year contract period, starting from 31 August 2024 and ending on 30 August 2030. The competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) was utilised, and the tender process concluded on 28 November 2023. The total awarded value of the contract is £4,499,000 GBP, with key dates including the award date on 23 February 2024 and the contract publication date on 4 April 2024. The contract is part of the services category under CPV classification 60112000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in public road transport services. The awarded contract, which is open to SMEs and VCSEs, encourages smaller and more socially-conscious enterprises' involvement in large-scale public service delivery. Companies that have expertise in transportation and logistics, particularly those already operating in or aspiring to expand into the London area, will find this contract particularly fitting. The success of Arriva London North in securing this contract underscores the multi-year stability and potential for sustained business growth inherent in such public sector engagements managed by Transport for London.
