Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London has completed a procurement process regarding the provision of bus services specifically for Route 372. This contract, initially initiated through a tender, has been awarded to Stagecoach East London. Situated in London (UKI region), the procurement falls under the 'services' category, specifically classified as public road transport services. The procurement employed a selective method, namely the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Though one lot related to the contract was eventually cancelled, an award was actively finalised on 2nd May 2025, valued at £3,498,250, marking the completion of this stage. The process aligns with the EU Directive 2014/25/EU on procurement for entities operating in the transport sector.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in urban public transportation, especially those looking to expand their services within Greater London. Companies with substantial experience in handling large-scale bus operations might find this procurement particularly beneficial given the size and scope of the contract awarded. The involvement of a significant transport provider like Transport for London underscores the potential for future collaborations or contracts for similarly structured or related services, positioning providers in a niche market with the possibility for sustained business growth.
