UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government authority, is soliciting proposals for a "Roundabout Sponsorship" initiative. This tender, categorised under advertising services, aims to appoint a provider to supply, install, and manage sponsorship signs across designated locations within the borough. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with bidding open to all interested parties until 27 March 2026. Prospective bidders have until 23 March 2026 to raise any enquiries. This opportunity adopts an open competition procurement method, with submissions facilitated via www.the-chest.org.uk. The service contract is set to commence on 21 June 2026, with an initial five-year term and potential extensions totalling up to five more years.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in advertising services, as it guarantees a minimum income to the supplier and a share of the revenue generated. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the suitability criteria tailored to such organisations. The procurement process favours bids with a competitive edge where pricing accounts for 80% of the evaluation criteria, against quality at 20%. Successful bidders could significantly boost their visibility and business reach in the UKD6 region, leveraging local government sponsorship to enhance their portfolio and reputation.
