No - July 2017 is when the current tenders expire for all three.
(02 Jun 2016, 5:51 pm)Dan wrote [ -> ]Yes - the new contract commences from 17th September 2016, and lasts until 2nd September 2017.
I'd forgotten to include details of the daytime 701 service being up for tender as per the daytime 700 and evening 701.
This is a one year contract between 17/09/16 and 07/17/17, with option to extend contract by one year. Vehicle specification is 1x low-floor Euro 5 vehicle with a minimum capacity of 60.

Will the bus on the 701 still run onto the 37?
Does anyone know what the time limit is between bidding starts for the contracts and when it ends..
So say it starts on 5th June, how long do companies have before it closes?

It depends really, but it'll be set out in the invitation to tender.

Just to add to Adrian's comments, Newcastle Council have just released a tender for the Go Smarter scheme. The bid/expressions of interest are from 0930 on the 6th June and it closes on the 28th June at 1000.
The estimated contract start date on 1st July. You can draw your own conclusions as to whether it will start on then or not

, well i'm just catching up, i haven't had access to the forum for 3 days!
Are Gateshead central taxis within there rights to use vans or minibuses that are only for taxi use on services on the 592 and 593?
If it was the 515 nexus might come down tough

To answer the question...
1.1 Timescales
The evaluation will consist of the following events and proposed timetable:
Issue Invitation to Tender (ITT) - 31 May 2016
ITT Response Deadline (noon) - 01 July 2016
RFI Deadline (noon) - 17 June 2016
Award Announcement - circa 12 July 2016
Commencement of Activity - 17 September 2016
There'll be no news on this one until at least the middle of next month, and that's assuming the award is announced on-time, in line with the above schedule.

Least they are giving it a while before it's handed out, i hope GNE keep it.

Not unless they submitted a non complying tender response or have a contract variation from Nexus as the ITT requested a low floor vehicle with a capacity of 23.

Is there any more than these Dan? I'm sure there was a few more up for renewal, 84/84A etc.

I believe the only ones which remain unknown are the 84/84A, 335 and M71

84/84A seems to be Phoenix. No idea who could have took over the 335 and M71 if it's not GNE or Arriva. Phoenix again maybe?

GCT? Perhaps the 335 might be Kingsley's? JH Coaches have enough capacity to operate one of the above as do Stanley Travel and A-Line (having lost the M12)
