## Summary

London Bus Services Limited, part of the London bus network, procured the provision of public road passenger transport for bus route 92. The service is intended to operate in London and is classified as public road transport services. The requirement covers operation of the route rather than the supply of vehicles or a wider transport programme. Transport for London is identified as the review body, while London Bus Services Limited is the buying organisation. The procurement concerns one route and one service requirement, giving bus operators and passenger transport businesses a clear indication of the buyer’s operational need. It is relevant to organisations that deliver scheduled urban bus services and can manage day-to-day route operations in London.

The procurement has reached the award stage. Metroline West was selected as supplier and the contract is active, with a value of £6,550,756. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The requirement was for four years, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the agreement at its discretion. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, and bids were evaluated on price. One bid was recorded for the route. The tender record marks the route’s lot as cancelled, while also recording the active award and contract to Metroline West; this is the stated outcome of the procurement. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from London Bus Services Limited for a dedicated urban bus route and shows that the buyer used a competitive negotiated process focused on price. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to run a scheduled London bus service reliably over a multi-year term, with sufficient fleet, drivers, maintenance, control-room and passenger-service capability. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was delivered at a scale suited to an established bus operator rather than an occasional or small transport provider. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate strong cost control, dependable route performance and the organisational resilience needed to manage an extension at the buyer’s discretion.
