## Summary

Transport for London recently concluded a public procurement process for the provision of bus services, specifically Route 162, under the category of public road transport services. The tender was initiated as a selective procurement method using a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Although the procurement process has reached the award stage, one of the lots was cancelled. The contract, valued at £6,051,334, was signed on the 16th of May 2025 and is currently active with London Central as the awarded supplier.
