You asked
Good Evening, since Autumn last year there has been no public tender announcements/contract awards. I was wondering if any new contract awards will be awarded to company’s. Secondly, what happens if no contact is awarded by the time a contract ends? Would the existing contract be extended or would a temporary contract be put in place?

All bus contract awards are currently on hold in light of the current funding discussions with the Department of Transport (DfT). We anticipate new contract awards will re-commence once there is greater certainty over our future funding. We anticipate that this will be well in advance of expiry of any current contracts for which replacement contracts have yet to be awarded.
