Notice Information
Notice Title
Station Advertising
Notice Description
The requirement is for a Concessionaire to maintain, manage, operate, and exploit the Concession Advertising Space at operated stations. The scope of the concession opportunity will be more fully described in the tender notice and associated tender documents. This is currently intended to include the advertising space at stations operated by Network Rail from concession contract commencement but with mechanisms to allow for additional advertising space at other stations to be added. As part of planned reforms to the rail industry, including the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR), it is possible that stations currently operated by train operators contracted by the Secretary of State for Transport may also come within the scope of such contract although the timing and volume of such additional advertising opportunities is not yet known. The pre-market engagement will include exploring suitable mechanisms for modification of the concession contract in the future and incorporation of such assets during the life of the concession contract. In addition, the concession contract and procurement process will provide for potential transfer of either the procurement process or the resulting contract itself in the event that this is required due to the establishment of GBR, rail reform or other corporate restructuring. More information on the requirements and how to respond to the market engagement questions and register to attend the supplier engagement day can be found via the opportunity listing that has been published on Bravo (Network Rail's procurement system) - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html. The opportunity listing can be found by clicking on 'current opportunities' and is under the heading 'Station Advertising'.
