(See Services 13 & 35 in Stockton and 3 in Hartlepool. TLDR - Stagecoach told TVCA they will cancel them, TVCA fully tender them, Stagecoach win them.)
Really the question should be, where is the scrutiny on allowing BSIP funds to be used in this way?
I don’t think they were tendered, just an emergency contract to keep them running. Everything is up for tender in April though…!
