Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of bus service - Route 687" was conducted by Transport for London, focusing on public road transport services in London, United Kingdom (region UKI). This tender is classified under the services category and employed a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, under the legal basis CELEX 32014L0025. The contract, which was signed on 10th September 2025, is valued at GBP 258,000. Initially, the tender had a single lot that was eventually cancelled, but Stagecoach East London was awarded the contract for its active completion as of 10th November 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for large-scale transportation and logistics companies capable of providing urban bus services. While Transport for London is a reputable buyer, the procurement method and contract conditions imply that negotiations play a significant role, best suited for those companies with experience in competitive public sector engagements. Firms with expertise in the delivery of bus services and capacity to meet the rigorous urban transport demands of London are likely to thrive, especially if they can navigate any post-award negotiations effectively. The extension option in the contract also opens up possibilities for long-term engagement with the transport authority.
