Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has completed the procurement process for the provision of bus service Route 633, classified under public road transport services. The procurement method employed was a selective, negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The contract, awarded to Metrobus, is valued at £354,931 and was signed on 28 April 2025. Although the tender stage is complete, it's important to note that the associated lot was cancelled, reflecting changes post-award negotiations. The service will be active in London, which falls under the region UKI.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses involved in urban transportation services, particularly those specialising in bus services. Given the scale and complexity of working with a major entity like Transport for London, larger transport companies and those experienced in negotiating selective competitive processes are well-suited to leverage similar opportunities for growth. Participating in such tenders can position businesses in the public transport sector for future opportunities and collaborations with significant clients in metropolitan areas.
