There was also this in the OJEU:

Title:
N50200
Lot No: 8

Additional CPV code(s)
60000000

Place of performance
NUTS code: UKD2

Description of the procurement:
Route Start: Wilmslow;
Route End: Altrincham;
Minimum Vehicle Seating Capacity: 23;
Vehicle and Driver Required.

Whether that lot will be awarded and what exactly it's for wasn't clear. As there wasn't a separate one for Knutsford to Wilmslow and that the above mentions a 23 seater it doesn't look like the intention was to look at the option of splitting the route in Wilmslow. If it's for a couple of early and/or late services only then I don't think potentially awarding them to a different operator to the main 88 contract would be a wise decision.
