## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the operation of public bus service Route 307 in London. The requirement is a passenger road transport service, covering the provision and operation of the route rather than the supply of vehicles or equipment. Transport for London is involved as the review body. The procurement falls within urban bus services and is classified under CPV 60112000. The service was intended to run as a single requirement, with the delivery location identified as London. The buyer is part of the London public transport network, so the opportunity is relevant to established bus operators and transport businesses with the operational capability to deliver scheduled local bus services in the capital.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is recorded as complete. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award was made to Arriva London North, and the associated contract is active. The contract value is £6,654,688 excluding any unstated tax treatment, and it was signed on 21 July 2026. The requirement was for seven years, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the agreement at its discretion. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The route requirement is shown as cancelled at lot level, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined London market for contracted scheduled bus operations and the scale at which London Bus Services Limited places route requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate public bus services reliably over a multi-year term, understand London route delivery and passenger-service obligations, and have the workforce, vehicles, management systems and financial capacity to sustain performance throughout the agreement. The evaluation was price-led, so operators would also need robust cost control and a clear pricing model for route operation. Experience delivering comparable urban bus services would help demonstrate operational resilience and the ability to manage an extension if required.
