Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process led by Transport for London focused on the provision of bus services for Route 246. The procurement, categorised under public road transport services within the services industry, was executed through a selective procurement method described as a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Although the tender status is marked complete, one key lot was cancelled post-award negotiations. The primary location for delivery is London, UK, specified as region UKI. Stagecoach Selkent was awarded the contract on 25th March 2025 with a contract value of £2,153,750.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public transport services, particularly those experienced with urban bus operations who can navigate the complexities of negotiated procedures. The provision of such services allows companies to expand and strengthen their foothold in the London transport sector. Large-scale enterprises, like Stagecoach Selkent, which have a proven capacity to manage extensive transport routes, would find competing for such tenders advantageous for business growth and market presence.
