Personally can't see GNE getting any funding because of them winning the funding for Voltra in the earlier investments unless it's just a few buses so Quaylink could be a shout. Think they'll target a corridor maybe Gosforth High Street (Arriva / GNE), Coast Road (Arriva / Stagecoach) or Byker / Blackett Street (Stagecoach) because of high emissions on them all if they went for Tyneside.

It's actually local authorities that have to do  the bidding, working with the operators and the scheme appears to be written with conversion of significant geographic areas in mind. 
As Dan says, the cost of the infrastructure for a handful of buses is very high so Durham Park & Ride might be out of the question if it's still run by the current operator. 
It only covers 75% of the difference in cost between a diesel bus and an electric bus so operators have to be in a position to invest very significant sums of money.
