Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Limited, located in Glasgow, has completed a selective procurement process for its Rail Advertising Services. The tender, initially announced on 11 September 2023, sought a provider to handle advertising across ScotRail’s facilities, including roadside, in-station, on-train, and ticket gates, within the UKM region. Employing a restricted procedure, ScotRail aimed to engage a single supplier over a potential contract period of seven years, including an initial five years with an optional two-year extension. Key dates for this process included the tender period ending on 11 October 2023, with the contract subsequently awarded to Global Outdoor Media Limited on 1 May 2025.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in advertising services, particularly those experienced in managing and investing in large portfolios that combine classic and modern advertising technologies. Businesses with strong financial credentials, as indicated by a required yearly turnover of GBP 2 million and specific financial ratios detailed in the pre-qualification documents, would find themselves well-suited to such opportunities. The comprehensive scope of services desired by ScotRail provides room for innovation and expansion in the advertising domain, fostering long-term partnerships and revenue potential in the railway services industry.
