UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council is procuring works to upgrade bus shelters across Bedford Borough. The requirement is to remove existing Perspex panels and replace them with metal mesh panels. The purpose is to improve the appearance of the shelters and provide passengers with a more protective space while waiting for buses. This is street furniture installation work, classified under CPV 45233293. The work is relevant to contractors specialising in bus shelter refurbishment, street furniture installation, public realm improvements, metal fabrication or related infrastructure maintenance. Delivery is within Bedford Borough, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The requirement concerns one package of works covering the described bus shelter upgrades rather than separate categories of supply or service.

The procurement reached tender: Bedford Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic bid submission was allowed. The enquiry deadline was 10 August 2026 at 23:59, and the offer deadline was 17 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract period set for the works runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement’s estimated gross value is £240,000. The single lot is recorded with a gross value of AED 240,000. The award basis is set out in the invitation to tender documents. The process is classified as works and is below the applicable threshold. Offers were to be submitted through the council’s electronic procurement system.

This opportunity suits contractors that can safely remove Perspex panels and install durable metal mesh panels on bus shelters, including firms experienced in street furniture, public realm, transport infrastructure or municipal maintenance works. Suppliers will need practical installation capability, suitable tools and equipment, and the ability to coordinate work across multiple shelters within Bedford Borough. The work is likely to suit businesses able to manage site access, passenger safety, temporary working arrangements and consistent installation quality in public locations. Contractors with metalwork, fabrication, shelter refurbishment or highways-related delivery experience should find the requirement aligned with their existing operations. Specialist subcontractors may also be relevant where they can support panel manufacture, fitting or associated site works.
