This procurement process focuses on enhancing bus shelter infrastructure within the transport sector, located in Milton Keynes, South East England. The engagement end date for expressions of interest is set for 31st July 2020, indicating a clear timeframe for interested parties to participate. This tender seeks innovative solutions, including the potential for advertising and environmental features in the bus shelters, which could accommodate both static and digital displays. This opportunity allows businesses specialising in transport infrastructure, particularly those that can provide high-quality bus shelters and maintenance services, to expand their operations. Companies with expertise in integrating technology, such as digital advertising and information systems, as well as those offering sustainable building solutions like green and solar roofing options, would be particularly competitive. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to express their interest, allowing them to engage with a significant local project that has the potential to enhance public transport facilities in the area. ## Notice Milton Keynes Council is seeking expressions of interest from companies who are able to offer bus shelter supply and maintain contracts. The Council would seek to include some element of advertising, including digital advertising, as well as green (planted) and solar roofing options. We would be seeking high quality purpose built bus shelters that could offer static and digital information displays dependant on the local situation. Shelters would need to be able to reuse existing Real time information panels where present. At present Milton Keynes has approximately 1000 stops with around 500 shelters. We would be seeking to retain this level of coverage. Some stops would have enhanced infrastructure which might include integrated cycle parking and other innovations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1415d736-7711-4602-9df4-7851c332d5cf | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jul 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MILTON KEYNES COUNCIL | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 3EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 34000000 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44212321 - Bus shelters - 50113000 - Repair and maintenance services of buses ## Release History - 1 Jul 2020 at 10:27 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1415d736-7711-4602-9df4-7851c332d5cf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1415d736-7711-4602-9df4-7851c332d5cf 1st July 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=199d766e-79bb-ea11-8104-005056b64545 Please use the following link to express an interest in this project. ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
