## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the provision of public bus services on Route 302. The requirement is a public road transport service, covering operation of the route for a seven-year term, with the option of an extension at the contracting entity’s discretion. Delivery is in London. The service forms part of the buyer’s urban bus transport activity and is relevant to operators able to provide scheduled passenger bus services, manage route operations and maintain reliable day-to-day delivery over a long service period. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The selected supplier, Metroline, is identified as a large organisation, indicating a requirement suited to an established bus operator or a business with comparable operational capacity and resources.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is recorded as complete. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded. Metroline received the active award for the Route 302 requirement. The associated contract was signed on 23 June 2026 for £6,861,461. The contract period is seven years, with a discretionary extension option. The lot associated with the requirement is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; businesses should check the underlying contractual position before relying on the award record. The evaluation basis is not described in the available procurement information. London Bus Services Limited is the buyer, with Transport for London identified as the review body.

This award demonstrates established demand from London Bus Services Limited for contracted urban bus operations on a defined route and at substantial service scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capability to run scheduled passenger services reliably, including suitable vehicles, drivers, control-room or scheduling arrangements, maintenance resources and effective management of passenger-facing operations. The seven-year requirement indicates that the buyer values sustained service delivery rather than a short-term or occasional transport solution. Metroline’s classification as a large organisation suggests that bidders would need sufficient financial, managerial and operational capacity to support the route throughout the service term, while the negotiated procedure indicates that suppliers should be able to engage constructively with the buyer on detailed service and commercial requirements.
