This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
Contracts have been handed back by Halifax Bus Company as they are unable to continue to operate these bus services (due to COVID-19). Furthermore, the unpredictability of COVID restrictions has delayed other contract awards in Calderdale A decision is required urgently to ensure continuation of a service for passengers and it was therefore not possible to give the statutory 28 days' notice.
Decision due: 31 Jul 2020 by Chief Executive
