On 15 April 2015, the Land Transport Authority called for tenders to operate 25 routes based at Changi Airport Bus Terminal, Changi Village Bus Terminal, Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, and Punggol Bus Interchange out of Loyang Bus Depot as part of its new Bus Contracting Model. Busways, Go-Ahead Group, Keolis, RATP Dev Transdev Asia, SBS Transit, SMRT Buses, Tian Tan Shipping/Kumho Buslines and Woodlands Transport lodged bids. On 23 November that year, the Land Transport Authority awarded Go-Ahead Singapore the contract with Go-Ahead Singapore to commence operations on 4 September and 18 September 2016 respectively. The contract will run for five years with a two years extension if it meets LTA's requirements. On 11 December that year, the Land Transport Authority handed over Loyang Bus Depot to Go-Ahead Singapore to allow it to be fitted out. On 19 June 2016, the Loyang Bus Depot was officially opened by MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency, Zainal Sapari and the Group Chief Executive of the Go-Ahead Group David Brown. Loyang Bus Depot Carnival was also held on the same day to allow the public to tour the depot and also learn more about Go-Ahead Singapore. On 21 September that year, Go-Ahead Singapore found itself short of staff less than three weeks after launching its services. A total of 30 SBS Transit drivers were deployed at Loyang Bus Depot to operate services 358 and 359, while SMRT Buses sent 10 drivers to help the new public bus operator operate service 85. Tower Transit Singapore was also engaged to supply a staff bus service for Go-Ahead employees at Loyang Bus Depot. On 30 November that year, Go-Ahead Singapore's managing director Nigel Wood left due to "personal reasons". He has since resumed his position with Go-Ahead London as its general manager.
