Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London focuses on the provision of termly home to school transport on the Wimbledon route. This falls under the services category and involves the hire of buses and coaches with a driver. Located in the City of London, United Kingdom, this tender pertains to the academic year 2025-2026. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract awarded to BM Coaches & Rental Ltd on 11th July 2025, following a limited competition process below the threshold. The contract is active from 8th September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a total contract value of £76,608.00 (excluding VAT).
