That link is out of date.
The revised timetable is https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/170565/rail-franchise-schedule.pdf
I think its fairly obvious when things change.

Sorry, but he hasn't.
Only First Group (current) and Abellio put in their expression of interest.

Two rail franchises have been opened up to bidders, the first invitations to tender since the fiasco of the West Coast franchise contract last year.
Invitations have been issued to tender for the Essex Thameside franchise and for the combined Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise.
