Bus services in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan area are divided into 15 regions, serviced by individual contracts. Historically, these contracts have been operated by a combination of the State Transit Authority and private operators.
Bus Contract 10 covers southern Sydney between between Bankstown, the Sutherland Shire and Engadine.
Contract 10 will be procured as part of Transport for NSW's upcoming procurement processes for 10 out of the 14 Greater Sydney Metropolitan Bus Contracts.
The contract will be procured in Tranche Two alongside Contracts Three, Five and 13. Transport for NSW have indicated that all four contracts can be procured together in a joint bid.
