[Lee J]

...your three years tendered mooring agreement is up. Do you have to re tender?

Not an issue.

 

The waterways will be in private hands, by then.

...your three years tendered mooring agreement is up. Do you have to re tender?

 

Lee

This is from the Q and A section of the relevant bit of Waterscape:

 

Will I have to re-tender at the end of the three-year agreement?

No. If we accept your offer for a tendered mooring, you will have a three-year Mooring Agreement. After the three years, if you want to stay on the mooring, we currently expect to offer you a standard Mooring Agreement (at present, annually renewable) at the normal published price for the mooring site (you don't have to re-tender.) This will be for the same length of berth as your tendered agreement, regardless of the length of your boat.

 

However, THIS is from the Terms and Conditions of the actual agreement:

4. At the end of this Agreement, you must let us

have the Mooring back in a clean and tidy

condition. AND

34. We reserve the right to refuse to issue you

with any mooring permit in the future. You have

no right under these Conditions to the renewal of

a mooring permit. We will not unreasonably

refuse to renew a mooring permit. However, if

we do refuse to issue you with a mooring

permit, we will write and tell you why.

 

I suppose it depends on how much you trust BW!

I think that applies to any BW mooring permit.

the idea being that the "normal published price" will have been raised considerably from what it was before these shenannigans started, cos a few silly tenders will have proved "market forces" require it.

'Not unreasonably refuse to renew' means that as long as you behave yourself, you're OK. If you cause a nuisance or otherwise get up BW's nose, they don't have to renew. That is a fair contract term, in my view.

I don't read it that way. It seems to me they can tell you to go for any reason they want as long as they tell you what that reason is, it makes difference whether you behave or not.

Yes, absolutely.....

 

So if you were the successful bidder at £6,000 pa for a mooring at Marsworth, where the previous going rate was under £2,000, they are going to collect £18,000 from you over the next 3 years, but then tell you the rate has fallen to £2,000 pa again.....

 

You can call me cynical, but........

You are a cynic but so am I.

 

I agree with you.
