Notice Information

Notice Title

Expressions of Interest Only - Sponsorship of Roundabouts

Notice Description

Harlow Council is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced organisations able to act as an agent to manage commercial advertisements on roundabouts on the highway in Harlow (This is not an invitation to tender). There are some 36 roundabouts in Harlow, at least 29 of which the Council believes would be suitable for the display of advertisements. The Council would expect the agent to manage all aspects of the project, including attracting business, obtain planning permission, arranging for advertisements to be made and erected, ensuring that they remain suitably clean and in good repair, collecting income from advertisers, and removing advertisements at the expiry of rental period. Advertisements would carry an element of Council corporate identity; their size and style would be agreed by the Council in advance; and Council stipulations as to the nature of businesses to be advertised and the permitted content of any advertisement would be observed. However, the Council stipulations would be made to maintain consistency and identity and to protect the Council and community from reputational damage and the Council would not expect to depart significantly from industry practice in this regard. The Council would expect to receive a regular income in return for this opportunity. Alternatively, the Council would consider other innovative arrangements such as income from advertising being retained by the agent, in return for managing the vegetation on roundabouts to a standard calculated to attract advertisers, at no cost to the Council. If this opportunity is of interest to you, please submit details of your track record and brief overview of your organisation (using the Post Box facility) by no later than noon on 13 May 2022. Questions must be submitted via the MyTenders Portal.
