Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Bus Services Limited, part of Transport for London’s bus network, procured operation of the 341/N341 bus service. The requirement was for public road passenger transport on this route, with delivery in the UKI region. The procurement was classified as public road transport services.

The procurement is recorded as complete and an award was made to Arriva London North. The contract was signed on 12 April 2024 and is active, with a stated value of £7,157,800. The requirement described a seven-year service term, with an option for London Bus Services Limited to extend it at its discretion. The process used a negotiated procedure following a prior competition. Price was the stated award criterion. Two bids were recorded for the lot. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

The award shows demand for operation of the 341/N341 route through London Bus Services Limited’s network. A future competitor would need to be able to provide public bus services for a multi-year route contract and compete on price, the stated evaluation basis. The selected supplier was Arriva London North, recorded as a large business; the procurement data does not set out specific fleet, staffing, accreditation or experience thresholds.
