Someone might want to tell SNE that (assuming they are continuing as the operator): https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and.../tees-flex
Still says: Tees Flex was introduced in February 2020, on an initial 3-year trial, with funds provided by Tees Valley Combined Authority. The contract’s end date is 24 February 2023, and we have not been asked to continue beyond that date.

Seems a bizarre way to manage a service...leave communitis thinking they are about to be cut off, let the operator announce it ceasing then seemingly catch said operator unawares and extend by 18 months at the eleventh hour. And we think Nexus are bad!
