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 14 covers the Forest District between Frenchs Forest and Ku-ring-gai Chase.
Contract 14 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 One alongside contract 4 and contract 12. Transport for NSW have indicated that contracts 12 and 14 may be procured together. However, contract 4 will be procured separately.
