## Summary

London Bus Services Limited procured the operation of bus route SL12 in London. The requirement is for public bus transport services, delivered on the route; no further route or service specifications are set out in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Stagecoach East London was selected for the single route lot. The contract value is £6,825,000, and it was signed on 10 September 2025. The lot description states a seven-year service term and says the contracting entity may extend the agreement at its discretion. The procedure was a negotiated process following a prior competition. Price was the stated award criterion. Two bids were recorded for the lot.

This award shows that London Bus Services Limited buys operation of its London bus routes through a negotiated procedure following competition, with price as the stated award criterion. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need the capacity and operational capability to run a scheduled bus service on route SL12 for a multi-year term. Stagecoach East London was selected; the award therefore provides a practical benchmark of a supplier considered capable of delivering this route. The procurement information does not identify further technical, accreditation or experience requirements, so no additional qualifications can be inferred.
