Franchising of passenger services
F126ZA No adequate tender for franchise received.
1
This section applies in the case of an invitation to tender under section 26 for the provision of services if—
a
the appropriate franchising authority receives no tender in response to the invitation; or
b
it receives a tender but considers that the services would be provided more economically and efficiently if they were provided otherwise than under a franchise agreement entered into in response to the tender.
2
The appropriate franchising authority may —
a
issue a new invitation to tender under section 26 for the provision of the services;
b
decide to secure the provision of the services under a franchise agreement with a person who did not submit a tender; or
c
decide not to seek to secure the provision of the services under a franchise agreement.
3
Nothing in this section prevents the appropriate franchising authority, where it has decided not to seek to secure the provision of services under a franchise agreement, from subsequently making a decision to issue a new invitation to tender for the provision of those services.
