I kinda agree. It is daft that they give up the service and then bid for it again. Its like saying "i cant be bothered to pay for a meal i just had with my friend but hes gonna pay even though I was the one who invited him"

Why run a service commercially. See no growth you wanted then give back the service only for you to then bid on the service you dont want to run commercially
