UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council intends to appoint a supplier to provide, manage, maintain and sell large-format out-of-home advertising on the digital screen at North Shields Transport Hub. The screen is already installed and operational, and is attached to the new transport hub, serving commuters and visitors. The supplier will be responsible for advertising sales, screen operation, maintenance and reporting, rather than paying for capital equipment or installation. The council wants a high-quality, innovative and sustainable advertising solution that maximises advertising revenue, enhances the public realm and delivers measurable environmental and community benefits. This is an advertising and marketing services requirement delivered at North Shields Transport Hub in North Tyneside.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is being considered as a concession arrangement and is planned as a single requirement. The anticipated contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031, a fixed five-year term. The estimated gross value is £75,000. The council expects to issue the next notice by 14 September 2026. It has scheduled supplier market engagement based on draft tender documents, with responses to its questionnaire expected by 1 September 2026. The detailed procedure, evaluation criteria and final terms are to be developed through the procurement process. Quarterly payment in arrears within 30 days of invoice is expected, subject to the final contract.

The work will suit advertising businesses with the ability to sell digital out-of-home inventory, manage campaigns and operate an advertising screen in a busy transport setting. Relevant suppliers should be able to maintain an operational digital display, manage advertisers and bookings, monitor delivery, and provide clear performance reporting. Experience of maximising revenue from high-footfall advertising locations would be useful, alongside the ability to propose innovative and sustainable approaches. The council is also seeking measurable environmental and community benefits, so suppliers able to evidence these outcomes should prepare suitable proposals. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the requirement. The council-funded screen and installation mean the appointed supplier will not need to provide capital equipment.
