OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a concession contract focused on outdoor advertising. The contract entails the installation, operation, and maintenance of outdoor advertising primarily on bus shelters and freestanding units across various sites within Dundee City. Tagged as planning with an initiation type of tender, the industry category is services in general public services, under COFOG classification. The process began with a Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 17 February 2026, and potential suppliers are advised that a future notice will be communicated by 30 April 2026. Key dates include the planning phase and the upcoming future notice deadline, reinforcing the council's commitment to engaging suppliers in Dundee City, located in the region UKM71.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in outdoor advertising logistics and operations, particularly those experienced in managing bus shelters and freestanding advertising units. Companies capable of servicing regional or local authorities will find this an attractive prospect, particularly given Dundee's city-wide scope. The procurement method is designed to foster engagement with a broad array of suppliers, enhancing potential business growth for entities ready to navigate the concession contract processes. As Dundee City Council positions itself as the buying organisation, businesses with capabilities in the CPV-coded sectors, notably those holding expertise in advertising services, infrastructure installation, and maintenance, will benefit from participating in this upcoming tender.
