## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the operation of bus service Route 10, a public road transport service. The requirement is for the route’s bus services, with delivery in London. The buyer is London Bus Services Limited, part of the London public transport network. This is a route-specific operating contract rather than a general purchase of buses or transport consultancy.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Arriva London North. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026, with an awarded value of £9,078,926. The tender described a three-year service period, with an option for London Bus Services Limited to extend the agreement at its discretion; no contract-period dates are stated. The procedure was a negotiated process following a prior competition. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. Although the lot is marked cancelled, the award and associated contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers assessing comparable London bus operations, this award demonstrates demand for running an established, individual bus route under a buyer-led negotiated competition. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to provide a sustained public bus service and to compete on price. The selected supplier, Arriva London North, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating the scale of provider that won this contract, though the procurement does not state a minimum company size or specific fleet, staffing, accreditation or experience requirements. The requirement is relevant to bus operators able to deliver route-level services for London Bus Services Limited, rather than suppliers offering vehicles alone or unrelated transport services.
