## Summary

Nottingham City Council is initiating a soft market testing exercise titled 'Soft Market Testing Digital Screen Advertising'. This procurement process is focused on the advertising industry, specifically targeting opportunities for digital screen advertising infrastructure across specified locations in the East Midlands. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement is set to conclude on 23rd February 2018, with the aim of finalising the service specification for an open tender to be conducted later this year. The council is looking to determine the most appropriate procurement route for both large and small format outdoor displays on council-owned land.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in advertising, installation services, and maintenance of communication equipment. Companies that specialise in digital signage, outdoor advertising infrastructure, or relevant associated services would be well-suited to participate. Engaging with this early market testing could allow interested firms to shape their proposals in line with Nottingham City Council's requirements, ultimately enhancing their competitive edge in the subsequent tender process.

## Notice

The Council is to undertake a soft market testing exercise to canvass external providers of digital screen advertising infrastructure to help us agree the most appropriate procurement route to facilitate a portfolio of large and small format outdoor digital screen advertising on Council owned land, at specified locations across the city centre. This exercise will enable us to finalise the future service specification and conduct an open and transparent tender process later this year.
