UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is seeking an operator to manage small-format outdoor digital advertising sites throughout Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. This is a commercial advertising services opportunity covering the operation of digital advertising sites rather than the supply of general advertising campaigns. The appointed operator will work across the council area, supporting the availability and management of small digital outdoor advertising locations. The procurement is categorised as advertising services (CPV 79341000) and is being run as a concession. It may suit businesses that operate digital out-of-home advertising networks, manage advertising estate on behalf of public bodies, or provide the technical, operational and commercial services needed to run outdoor digital display sites.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 4 August 2026 at 16:00, and offers were due by 24 August 2026 at 14:00. The council expected to finalise its award decision by 15 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, with renewal described as three additional 12-month periods and a maximum extent date of 30 September 2039. The estimated value is £420,000 excluding VAT, or £504,000 including VAT. There is one lot, estimated at the same value. Evaluation is weighted 60% commercial and 40% quality. Electronic submissions are allowed in English.

The opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises, as the single lot is expressly identified as suitable for SMEs. Strong candidates are likely to be operators with experience of outdoor digital advertising, including installing, maintaining, monitoring and commercially managing small-format digital display sites. Relevant capability may include advertising-sales management, digital content scheduling, screen and communications technology, site operations, maintenance arrangements and reliable customer or advertiser support. Suppliers should be able to manage an estate of sites across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and demonstrate the capacity to provide a consistent service over a long-term concession. Businesses with established relationships with advertisers, practical outdoor media experience and the operational resources to support council-managed locations are likely to be well placed to compete.
