Summary of the contracting process

Cheltenham Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for a contract titled "Manufacture, Installation and Removal of Lamp Post Advertising Banners" in the advertising and marketing services industry. This procurement falls under the sub-central government's public authority category. The contract will take place in the Cheltenham area, specifically within the UKK13 region, for service delivery. The procurement stage is now complete, with Bay Media Limited awarded the contract on 7th July 2026. The contract, valued at £153,000 inclusive of VAT, carries a duration of two years starting from 1st August 2026, with a potential one-year extension. The open-tender, below-threshold competition was conducted by Cheltenham Borough Council using an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in manufacturing and installing advertising materials. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can leverage this contract to establish a foothold in public sector advertising, given the value and duration of the contract. The opportunity to extend the contract by an additional year enhances prospects for long-term business growth. Businesses focusing on high-volume production or having capabilities to manage logistical elements, such as installation and ongoing maintenance of the advertising materials, are particularly well-suited to compete in this space.
