This initiative falls under the industry category of advertising and marketing services and aims to enhance the installation, maintenance, repair, and cleaning of Community Information Panels across the borough. The procurement process is now in the Tender phase, with tenders due by 12th May 2020. The successful bidder will undertake a contract expected to last for an initial duration of 84 months, with the possibility of a 36-month extension. The estimated value of the contract is £4.2 million, with expressions of interest having commenced from 13th February 2020. This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses involved in advertising, installation, or maintenance services, particularly those experienced in managing outdoor advertising equipment. Companies that possess capabilities in both traditional and digital advertising will be well-positioned to compete, especially given the council's goal to increase the number of digital panels and enhance council communications. The open procurement method allows for a wide range of bidders, and firms are encouraged to collaborate with the Council's Planning Department to formulate competitive proposals based on provided insights into potential installation sites across London. ## Notice Portal Contract Reference: DN463801 Internal Contract Reference: G5373 Contract Title: Community Information Panels Expressions of interest start date: 13/02/2020 Return of tenders/bids end date: 12/05/2020 Initial Contract Duration: 84 Months Extensions: 36 months Estimated Contract Value (including extensions): PS4.2 Milllion Description: London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking expression of interests from suitable and experienced organisations to install, maintain, repair and clean its Community Information Panels via a concessions agreement while maximising coverage and ensuring the best value for money. The Council has 43 CIPs as static 6 sheet advertising sites across the borough. Currently, the exposure received from these is 50% for the council via coverage wholly on one side while the other side is used entirely for external advertising by the contractor. The Council is now looking to agree a new 10 year CIP contract (7 + 3). The successful contractor will be expected to meet the Council's objectives below as well as take full responsibility for the installation, maintenance, repair and cleaning of the panels. In addition to this, the contractor will be responsible for the display and maintenance of council artwork. The successful contractor is expected to pay the Council an annual remuneration for the provision of the land upon which the CIPs will be erected, while the council accepts that the contractor will recoup profits from the sale of advertising. The Council's objectives are to: * Increase the number of the CIPs to gain increased exposure across the borough * Convert as many of the existing static 43 CIPs to digital as possible * Guarantee larger coverage in the borough for key council communication campaigns, and more advertising impressions * Guarantee a significant portion of advertising space on any digital panels for council campaigns * Ensure reasonable remuneration for site rental * Ensure adequate access to advertising time for the Council's own needs The tender process will be running over a 3 month period in order to provide bidders adequate time to work with the Council's Planning Department, Highways Team and any other external bodies to understand the installation requirements and feed into their bids. The council has attached a list of 20 potential new sites with the support of the planning team - which have been deemed as either: * Amber (Could potentially be supported subject to further information or a slight relocation). * Green (No immediate concerns and likely to be supported). While this preliminary research has been provided, it should be used as a guide and bidders are advised to carry out their own investigations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e2cf4ee-413c-46e1-b2b2-29e77aba7078 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 12 May 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Aug 2020 - 2 Aug 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TOWER HAMLETS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 2BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Poplar | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 22462000 - Advertising material - 31523000 - Illuminated signs and nameplates - 45316100 - Installation of outdoor illumination equipment - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 79341000 - Advertising services - 79341200 - Advertising management services ## Release History - 18 Feb 2020 at 13:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e2cf4ee-413c-46e1-b2b2-29e77aba7078 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e2cf4ee-413c-46e1-b2b2-29e77aba7078 18th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
