The cancellation of the Contract Notice placed relating to this tender (by the placing of a Contract Award Notice saying that the Contract has not been awarded in OJEU) was due to recent determination that this is a Concession Contract, which follows the Concessions Regulations rather than Public Contract Regulations.
