Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council procured large-format out-of-home advertising services for the North Shields Transport Hub Screen. The requirement covers the provision, management, maintenance and sales of advertising on the screen. This is a commercial advertising and marketing services opportunity, including responsibility for operating the advertising arrangement and supporting its ongoing use. Delivery is at the North Shields Transport Hub in North Tyneside. The arrangement is structured as a concession, so suppliers should be prepared to manage the advertising service and its associated sales activity for the Council. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist outdoor advertising operators, media sales businesses and marketing service providers with the operational capability to manage a large-format public-facing advertising asset.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 3 July 2026 at 12:00, and tender offers by 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, a fixed five-year term. The gross estimated value was £75,000. Evaluation was based on quality and price, weighted 45% and 55% respectively, with the detailed criteria set out in the tender documents. The tender was subsequently cancelled on 16 July 2026. No reason for the cancellation is stated. This is therefore a concluded procurement rather than an opportunity for a further tender response.

The requirement suits suppliers that can combine outdoor advertising operations with commercial media sales. Relevant businesses are likely to have experience managing large-format out-of-home advertising, including arranging and administering advertising inventory, securing and managing advertisers, and maintaining the associated display infrastructure. The service also calls for the ability to manage a public-facing screen at a transport hub, so dependable operational processes, maintenance arrangements and attention to presentation will be important. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate capability across both service delivery and revenue-generating sales activity, rather than offering advertising sales alone. The quality-weighted evaluation means bidders would need to explain how they would manage and maintain the screen and deliver the required advertising service, alongside their pricing proposal.
