You'll have to start up your own bus company and register with TfWM as an operator, then request invitations to bid on contracts.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Tenders are only being submitted by operators the end of this week. 

As for results, probably only two weeks before like last time.

Why would they want to go back on a service they withdrew last time? Are they going to make changes to it?

Are they running it to the airport

From what I think I understand it is just the daytime journeys Mon-Sat that Diamond took on an emergency tender earlier in the year. Diamond are still operating the evening/Sunday journeys to the Airport.

If anything, the X21 should be renumbered 21 and these Merry Hill runs numbered 21A.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.
