This procurement, falling under the advertising services category, is at the Tender stage, with bids due by 12:00 noon on 22nd January 2021. Each bidder can submit proposals for any or all of the three Lots, which include advertising at bus stations, Metro stops, and on trams. Key dates for clarifications and a pre-tender briefing session are also noted, with the latter scheduled for 22nd December 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the advertising and media sectors, particularly those specialised in transportation advertising. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process allows bidders to compete for one or more of the Lots. Engaging in this process could provide these businesses with a stable revenue stream through advertising contracts, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with the WMCA. ## Notice The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) / Midland Metro Limited (MML) is looking to procure a suitable partner(s) to provide advertising as a concession in order to secure additional commercial income to help meet the costs of running and maintaining some of its key facilities across the West Midlands area.
