Without limiting that, it is currently anticipated that the grant of any Direct Award as envisaged in this notice will follow on from the completion of certain termination arrangements in respect of the extant franchise agreement entered into by the Contracting Authority and First Greater Western Limited on 29 March 2020 (the \"Franchise Agreement\").",
