## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the provision of public bus transport on Route 661. The requirement covers operation of the route as a bus service, classified under public road transport services. The work is associated with London, with the buying organisation based at Endeavour Square in London. Transport for London is identified as the review body. The selected supplier, Stagecoach Selkent, is a large London-based bus operator. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction works, and is focused on a single route requirement for the buyer’s public transport network. Businesses active in bus operations, scheduled passenger transport and the management of urban bus routes would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to provide a complete operational service rather than individual supplies or supporting services.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Stagecoach Selkent for the Route 661 requirement. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and is valued at £232,000. The planned service period was seven years, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the agreement at its discretion. The procedure was selective, using a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The award criterion was price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published lot is marked cancelled, while the related award and contract are recorded as active; the award outcome therefore identifies Stagecoach Selkent as the selected supplier and the contract as in force.

This procurement is useful market evidence for bus operators interested in London Bus Services Limited’s route-based public transport requirements. The successful supplier was a large operator, indicating that credible competitors need sufficient operational scale to run a scheduled urban bus service reliably over a long-term period. Relevant capability would include managing route operations, providing vehicles and suitably qualified drivers, maintaining service continuity, and meeting the buyer’s operational requirements for a public bus network. Because price was the stated award criterion, a future competitor would also need a cost-efficient operating model and the ability to submit a commercially competitive offer. Experience delivering comparable urban passenger transport services would strengthen credibility when this buyer next considers the requirement.
