## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured a public bus service for routes H9 and H10 in London. The requirement is classified as public road transport services and covers the operation of the specified urban bus route, rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport consultancy. The procurement is associated with London’s public transport network, with Transport for London identified as the review body. The selected supplier, London Sovereign, is a large London-based bus operator. Businesses relevant to this requirement are established public transport operators able to run scheduled bus services on a defined urban route and meet the operational requirements of the contracting organisation.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to London Sovereign for the H9/H10 route requirement. The contract is active, was signed on 10 August 2026, and has a value of £7,875,002. The requirement was conducted using a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, under the GPA. One bid was recorded. The stated service term was seven years, with an option for the contracting entity to extend the agreement at its discretion. The award criterion was price. The tender record marks the single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract records show an active award and contract for London Sovereign.

This procurement shows continuing commercial demand from London Bus Services Limited for contracted operation of a named urban bus route. Competitors targeting similar future requirements would need the capability to provide reliable scheduled public bus services in London at route level, with the operational capacity expected of an established bus operator. The evaluation was based on price, so credible suppliers would need strong cost control alongside the ability to deliver the full service requirement over a multi-year term. London Sovereign was the selected supplier and is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and the resources to sustain long-term route operations are relevant benchmarks for competing businesses.
