Help needed with possible Tupe.

Good afternoon all, I need a bit of help with a situation at our place of work please,
I work in the catering department in college A, college A has joined forces with a college in our area college B. We now have a campus A and campus B, this happened last September
Campus B has two years left in their catering contract, campus A had an extension from their original contract which comes to an end in July. The new A/B college was hoping the company in campus A would sign an extension for two years, making it in line with the end of campus B contract so the contract could go out to tender in two years time.
Our college A has decided no to go ahead with this and has informed the college their contract will come to its agreed end in July.
The question we all have is were will this leave us all with our employment? Our manager seems to think the catering company in college B will just tupe us over, but were there was no actual tender out for companys to bid for, I am not sure if a tupe will go ahead.
We was also wondering is it legal for campus B catering ( now we are one college) be invited just to extend in to campus A? As we are in this pandemic situation we are sure the campus B catering have furloughed staff my be on the point of redundancy, this would be a good opportunity for them to campus A to save some money.
We are just all in limbo atm and are not sure where we stand, any information would be greatly appreciated.

I can't quite work out the relationships. If A and B have joined forces and become one new entity, A/B, how can A decide unilaterally not to sign an extension?Redspectacles said:

Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -
Two colleges have joined together not the catering companys, one company is coming to the end of their contract in July ( the one I work for in campus A) Campus B catering has another two years to run. Sorry its all a bit confusing.

Ah - is one of these a typo and should be 'company' rather than college?Redspectacles said:Two colleges have joined together not the catering companys, one company is coming to the end of their contract in July ( the one I work for in campus A) Campus B catering has another two years to run.

Op, start again and be concise, perhaps sumerising with bullet points for clarity.

Catering company B is under no obligation to take on staff from catering company A. There is no relationship between the parties.1
