62AACA Entering into an integrated mass transit service contract
(1) This section applies if— (a) a declaration under section 42 is made for
a service contract area or route (the
"new area or route" ); and
(b) the chief executive proposes to provide a
general route service (the
"new service" ) for the new area or route, under an integrated mass transit
service contract.
(2) The chief executive may— (a) invite an
affected operator, by written notice, to offer, by the prescribed day, to
provide the new service (an
"operator invitation" ); or
(b) invite any or all holders of integrated mass
transit service contracts, by written notice, to offer, by the prescribed day,
to provide the new service (a
"holder invitation" ); or
(c) invite the public, by public notice, to offer
to provide the new service (a
"public invitation" ).
(3) If the chief executive makes an
operator invitation and either— (a) an affected operator makes no offer, or
if there is more than 1 affected operator, no affected operator makes an
offer, by the prescribed day; or
(b) if 1 or more offers are made, the chief
executive decides no offer made is acceptable under section 62AAE ;
the chief
executive may make a holder invitation or a public invitation.
(4) If the
chief executive makes a holder invitation and no holder of an integrated mass
transit service contract— (a) makes an offer by the prescribed day; or
(b)
makes an offer that the chief executive decides is acceptable under
section 62AAE ;
the chief executive may make a public invitation.
(5)
However, if— (a) an offer is made in response to an operator invitation or a
holder invitation by the prescribed day; and
(b) the chief executive
considers the offer substantially complies with the requirements of an offer
that would be acceptable under section 62AAE ;
the chief executive may defer
the making of a public invitation to allow an opportunity for a service
contract to be concluded with the offerer.
(6) In this section—
"affected operator" means an operator providing a general route service of the
kind specified in the declaration for all or part of the new area or route.
