159: Acceptance of tender, etc
or “The Minister decides how to handle offers for using coastal areas, considering various factors and informing everyone involved.”
You could also call this:

“The Minister tells the winner their offer is accepted and lets others know they didn't win.”

When someone’s tender is accepted under section 159, the Minister will tell them in writing. This is how they officially accept the tender.

At the same time, the Minister will also write to everyone else who put in a tender. The Minister will let them know that their tender wasn’t successful. If any of these people ask, the Minister will give them back all the papers they sent with their tender.
