RE: Merseytravel Contracts
Really not sure but another one up in August that I noticed on my travels today is route 211 (Speke Circular) currently with Ace Travel - That is an emergency contract as they took it on after the demise of Supertravel.

Liverpool

211 - HTL Buses

This wasn't on the original list but seems to have been won by HTL from August anyway!

Avon have kept the 197.
Have heard that imperia have got the 130 and 210/250 but can't 100% confirm that.

They're called Impera, not Imperia!

Personally, I hope that Cumfybus keep the 130. That service, from what I've seen of it, has improved and settled down well under their ownership - 100% better than how Supertravel ran it (reliability-wise)! I don't have any reason why they should have it taken off them! The only issue with them, as a company, is the presentation of their buses and drivers. If they smartened their look up, they'd be a fine little company!

I'm sure that if somebody knew about that service, they'd post it! Obviously nobody knows about it, so you'll have to wait and see! You seem to have forgotten that this kind of information has never been available until it's been shown on VOSA...
