## Summary

London Bus Services Limited, part of Transport for London’s bus network, procured public road transport services for bus route 669. The requirement was to provide and operate the route as a scheduled bus service, serving passengers in London. It falls within the services category and covers urban bus operations rather than the supply of vehicles or standalone transport equipment. The selected operator was Stagecoach Selkent, a large supplier based in London. The procurement was managed by London Bus Services Limited, with Transport for London identified as the body responsible for review. The requirement was treated as a single route service, with the associated lot covering provision of the route for the agreement period.

The procurement has reached completion and an active contract was awarded to Stagecoach Selkent. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 for £461,500. The requirement was for a seven-year service agreement, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the term at its discretion. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, under the Government Procurement Agreement. One bid was recorded for the route. Price was the stated award criterion. The associated lot is marked cancelled even though the award and contract are active, so businesses should treat the named supplier and active contract as the recorded outcome.

This award demonstrates demand from London Bus Services Limited for contracted operation of an individual London bus route at a defined, substantial service scale. A credible future competitor would need to operate scheduled public bus services safely and reliably, manage day-to-day route delivery, and provide the operational capacity needed for a multi-year agreement. Experience of urban passenger transport and the ability to satisfy a negotiated competition focused on price would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage the commercial and operational implications of a contracting authority retaining discretion to extend the agreement. Stagecoach Selkent’s selection indicates that an established, large-scale bus operator was considered capable of delivering this requirement.
