Who knows this may mean a change to the monopoly First currently have there
Stotts, jpt, stagecoach, mct, checkmate all could take contracts away from them.

I very much doubt it.
Once First or Stagecoach gain tenders they group them together and put in one tender to operate them all, this grouping of tenders tends to put off smaller operators as they don't have the facilities to operate a group of services.

I would be very surprised if Stott's lost the 407 though.
