Notes Nexus - Nexus is not included in the register due to its status as an officer of the Combined Authority rather than a partner. Partnership arrangements for Nexus are recorded separately to the arrangements for the North East Combined Authority.

TT2* - This is a Services Concession, which is a form of services contract rather than a partnership relationship in the strictest sense, but is included within the register for completeness due to the significance of the relationship.
