Notice Title
TFGM Metrolink On Vehicle Advertising
Notice Description
Services contract relating to Metrolink On-Vehicle advertising concession agreement, due to expire on 31 December 2024. The current incumbent supplier generates revenue by utilising Metrolink vehicles and advertising spaces for advertising, then shares this revenue with TFGM. TfGM is now seeking an additional 18-month provision of these services, and this notice provides transparency around the reasons for this single source requirement, and of TfGM's intention to tender for new service and supply contract in 2025. The contract can be terminated following 12 months on 1 months' notice to provide TfGM flexibility for the start date of the proceeding contract in 2026. The decision to contract with Global Outdoor is based on the need to maintain continuity of service provision until a full review has been completed prior to launch of a procurement exercise to award a long-term contract. TfGM anticipates this will be advertised in early 2025 once the full scope of the services and supplies has been determined and route to market agreed. TFGM have considered that a change in contractor at this stage would cause significant disruption to the procurement process and may end up costing more
