## Summary

Transport for London, the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for the provision of bus services on Route 313. The award, dated 18th December 2025, was part of a selective procurement process executed through a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. This contract falls under the public road transport services category (CPV: 60112000) and covers urban public transportation in London. Although initially cancelled, the procurement's award stage identifies Metroline as the active supplier. The contract, valued at £3,260,059, extends for a potential seven years with the possibility of extension at the discretion of the contracting entity.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the public transport sector, particularly those with expertise in large-scale service provision and an interest in establishing or expanding their involvement in the London area. Companies with capabilities in urban bus services are well-positioned to harness the growth potential from this and similar opportunities. The competitive procurement method and selective negotiations demonstrate that businesses capable of offering competitive pricing alongside robust operational capabilities stand a strong chance in future tenders from Transport for London.
