Notice Title

The Supply, Installation, Maintenance and The Right to Display Advertising on Bus Shelters in Swindon Borough

Notice Description

The procurement of the Supply, Maintenance and Advertising of the Bus Shelter Contract has now had to be abandoned. This is due to the receipt of a large number of clarifications, where it is felt that the specification requires further work that collectively may amount to a material change to the requirements. In addition, following clarifications received, a new set of concession contract terms and conditions will be prepared and a further review and update of the specification will need to be completed. Therefore as a result, there now may be a need for further soft market testing concerning the age of bus shelters and any other key issues of concern raised in the clarifications. Once this further review is completed, a new tender will be issued to market. Communication regarding the abandonment was provided directly to bidders/prospective bidders on 21/12/23 via the Pro-Contract messaging facility for tender ref: DN694424.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This will be a concession contract under which the successful supplier will generate income to fund these service requirements from selling advertising space on the bus shelters. The Council will require a share of advertising income from the supplier for this contract.

Swindon Borough Council own a number of bus shelters which it will continue to own and these will be part of the contract. In addition, the Council will be purchasing new bus shelters for its new Bus Boulevard and these shelters will become part of this contract once installed, although they will remain owned by the Council. Bus shelters owned by parish councils or developers or other parties are not part of this contract. The supplier will clean and maintain the bus shelters as part of a regular maintenance programme. The initial contract term will be for 120 months with an option to extend for a further 60 months for a potential total contract term of 180 months as stated in the Invitation To Tender (ITT) documents. The estimated ten-year value of contract is PS6m to the supplier. The extension period would be 5 years with a potential advertising income of PS3m.

                            "text": "This will be a concession contract under which the successful supplier will generate income to fund these service requirements from selling advertising space on the bus shelters. The Council will require a share of advertising income from the supplier for this contract. The supplier will be expected to provide new bus shelters at new locations and replace bus shelters on a regular renewal programme. The majority of bus shelters within Swindon Borough are owned by an existing supplier, who are anticipated to remove their bus shelters over a period of 6 months following the end of their contract. The successful supplier will have to replace these bus shelters if they are removed by the existing supplier at the same time of their removal. Swindon Borough Council own a number of bus shelters which it will continue to own and these will be part of the contract. In addition, the Council will be purchasing new bus shelters for its new Bus Boulevard and these shelters will become part of this contract once installed, although they will remain owned by the Council. Bus shelters owned by parish councils or developers or other parties are not part of this contract. The supplier will clean and maintain the bus shelters as part of a regular maintenance programme. The initial contract term will be for 120 months with an option to extend for a further 60 months for a potential total contract term of 180 months as stated in the Invitation To Tender (ITT) documents. The estimated ten-year value of contract is PS6m to the supplier. The extension period would be 5 years with a potential advertising income of PS3m.
