## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the operation of bus route 383, a public road transport service, in London. The requirement was for a bus service on this route, rather than a general transport or fleet supply contract. The buyer is London Bus Services Limited, part of Transport for London’s bus service environment. The service was associated with a seven-year operating term and a possible extension at the contracting entity’s discretion. The route-specific nature of the requirement makes it most relevant to bus operators able to provide scheduled passenger services in London and meet the operational demands of a defined TfL route.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to Uno. The contract is active and was signed on 8 March 2022. Its recorded contract value is £799,199. The requirement specified a seven-year service period, with an extension option exercisable at the contracting entity’s discretion. The buyer used a negotiated procedure following a prior call for competition, with a selective procurement method. Price was the stated award criterion. Three bids were received for the route. The tender lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are also recorded for it; the published data therefore gives conflicting status information for the lot and the awarded contract.

This award shows demand from London Bus Services Limited for the operation of an individual London bus route through a competed, negotiated process. A credible future competitor would need to be an established bus operator able to plan and deliver a sustained route service, with the operational capacity to run scheduled passenger transport reliably over a multi-year agreement. The selection basis was price, so cost control and a commercially viable service model would be important alongside the ability to meet the route’s operating requirements. Uno, recorded as a large supplier, was selected from three bidders. The discretionary extension indicates that any future operator would also need the capacity to sustain delivery beyond the initial term if the buyer chooses to extend. No specialist accreditation or additional technical qualification is evidenced in the procurement data.
