Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, has concluded the procurement process for a Bus Shelters Concessions Contract. The contract, valued at up to £10.5 million gross, involves the supply, installation, and maintenance of bus shelters with an opportunity for revenue generation through advertising. The procurement method used was an open procedure under the works category, and the process is currently in the award stage following the tender's completion. Located in Bracknell, UKJ11 region, the contract will commence on 1st April 2026 for an initial term of 15 years, with an optional extension of up to 10 years subject to council approval.

This contract offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies involved in the installation of street furniture and maintenance services. Although Bauer Media Outdoor UK Ltd, a large-scale company, has been identified as the pending awardee, the tender process demonstrated that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as TRUEFORM ENGINEERING LIMITED, also actively participated. Businesses with expertise in advertising, installation, and maintenance within the outdoor sector are well-positioned to benefit from such concession contracts, leveraging the advertising opportunities to enhance business visibility and revenue potential.
