I think it's very much a double edged sword for smaller operators. Well established commercial services are all good and well but it's difficult nowadays for smaller companies to find good viable routes that don't compete with the big boys. Establising a service can take up to 6 months before it starts paying and obviously divers still need paying and if the service isn't a success it's effectively dead money.

Tenders are obviously a safety bet these days. It's garenteed income for the entire contract which offers stability, but the problem is, as we have seen with so many smaller companies, when you loose a number of contracts in one go it's a major blow and can be the difference between make and break.
