## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the operation of the 93/N93 bus service route in London. The requirement is a public road transport service, covering the provision of scheduled bus services for passengers along the specified route. The buyer is London Bus Services Limited, whose activity is urban bus services. The contract concerns service delivery rather than the supply of vehicles or equipment alone, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide and manage a complete bus service. The requirement is associated with London, and the selected supplier, London General, is also based in London. Transport for London is identified as the review body for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, with bids evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The requirement was arranged as one lot for a seven-year bus service agreement, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the term at its discretion. The lot is marked cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded for London General. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and has a value of £10,108,604. London General was selected as supplier. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from London Bus Services Limited for an operator able to deliver a complete urban bus route service at substantial scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need operational capability to run scheduled passenger services reliably across the 93/N93 route, with sufficient vehicles, trained drivers, engineering support, control-room functions and service management. It would also need the financial and organisational capacity to sustain delivery over a multi-year agreement and manage any permitted extension. The price-led evaluation shows that cost competitiveness is important alongside the ability to meet the operating requirements. The awarded supplier is classified as a large organisation, indicating the scale of incumbent competition.
