Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council procured a specialist end-to-end lamppost banner service in London. The requirement covers producing and printing banners, installing them on council-owned lamp columns, maintaining them during use, removing them and disposing of them sustainably. The primary classification is lampposts (CPV 34928520), with related advertising and advertising campaign services. This is a services contract for work across Westminster, involving the full operational cycle from banner production through to responsible disposal. It is relevant to businesses that can combine print production, installation teams, maintenance capability, removal operations and sustainable waste handling, rather than suppliers providing only one isolated element of banner delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Westminster City Council used a selective route as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Bay Media Limited on 5 August 2026 for £222,600, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The award is active and covers the same three-year lamppost banner service. The council evaluated a framework call-off procurement for specialist advertising-related services; the recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate. The award value is the stated total for this contract.

This award demonstrates established council demand for a managed lamppost banner service combining creative production with physical delivery and ongoing asset management. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate print quality, installation on lamp columns, planned and responsive maintenance, safe removal and sustainable disposal through one dependable service model. Evidence of handling public-realm advertising campaigns, working safely on street furniture, managing installation and maintenance schedules, and controlling environmental impacts would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers may be competitive where they can demonstrate sufficient operational capacity, reliable project management and the ability to deliver consistently across Westminster.
