It will be interesting to see what vehicles they buy or lease to operate it with... given the contractual requirement was for 10 Euro 6 vehicles, to cover a PVR of 9.
The contract starts on 27th October, and will run for 5 years, with extensions available for a further 2 or 3 years if awarded.
I don't know a lot about leasing, but what's the chances of them being able to get a hold of 10 Euro 6 midibuses by that start date? If they opt to purchase them, then they're really going to have to put an order in imminently to have them in time?
