## Summary

London Bus Services Limited, part of Transport for London, procured operation of bus route 384 in London. The requirement is a public bus transport service, classified under CPV 60112000. The service was specified as a single route rather than divided into separately described lots. The procurement concerns delivery of the route service itself; the published description does not give further detail about the route, its timetable, vehicles or passenger numbers.

The procurement is recorded as complete, with Metroline selected and an active contract. The contract was signed on 25 March 2022 and is valued at £2,163,000. The stated service term is seven years, with an option for London Bus Services Limited to extend it at its discretion. The buyer used a negotiated procedure following a prior call for competition. The sole stated award criterion was price, and the process recorded one bid. The award date is not reported.

For a future return of this specific route requirement, a credible competitor would need to be able to operate a public bus service in London and compete on price. The award shows that Metroline was selected for this work through a negotiated procedure following a competition, with price as the stated award criterion. This is evidence of demand from London Bus Services Limited for an operator capable of delivering route 384. The procurement does not identify particular vehicle specifications, service capacity, operating experience or accreditations, so no more specific supplier requirements can be drawn from it.
