This procurement falls within the advertising management services industry category and is located in Harlow, Essex. The procurement process is at the planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set for noon on 13 May 2022. The contract will commence on 1 June 2022 and will run until 31 May 2023. Notably, the procurement follows an open procedure below threshold and involves a minimum financial engagement of £2,000, with a total estimated value of up to £50,000. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in advertising management, particularly those with experience in outdoor advertising, to expand their operations. Companies capable of managing advertising content and ensuring compliance with local regulations would be particularly well-suited. Additionally, businesses that can adeptly navigate the process of obtaining planning permissions and maintaining the aesthetics of roundabouts will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities. Engaging in this process could facilitate steady income while contributing to the visibility of their brand within the community. ## Notice Harlow Council is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced organisations able to act as an agent to manage commercial advertisements on roundabouts on the highway in Harlow (This is not an invitation to tender). There are some 36 roundabouts in Harlow, at least 29 of which the Council believes would be suitable for the display of advertisements. The Council would expect the agent to manage all aspects of the project, including attracting business, obtain planning permission, arranging for advertisements to be made and erected, ensuring that they remain suitably clean and in good repair, collecting income from advertisers, and removing advertisements at the expiry of rental period. Advertisements would carry an element of Council corporate identity; their size and style would be agreed by the Council in advance; and Council stipulations as to the nature of businesses to be advertised and the permitted content of any advertisement would be observed. However, the Council stipulations would be made to maintain consistency and identity and to protect the Council and community from reputational damage and the Council would not expect to depart significantly from industry practice in this regard. The Council would expect to receive a regular income in return for this opportunity. Alternatively, the Council would consider other innovative arrangements such as income from advertising being retained by the agent, in return for managing the vegetation on roundabouts to a standard calculated to attract advertisers, at no cost to the Council. If this opportunity is of interest to you, please submit details of your track record and brief overview of your organisation (using the Post Box facility) by no later than noon on 13 May 2022. Questions must be submitted via the MyTenders Portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1c8815d-c40a-4910-8704-45a43b642623 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | HARLOW DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | HARLOW ESSEX | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM20 1WG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH35 West Essex | | Local authority | Harlow | | Electoral ward | Little Parndon & Town Centre | | Westminster constituency | Harlow | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79341000 - Advertising services - 79341200 - Advertising management services ## Release History - 22 Apr 2022 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1c8815d-c40a-4910-8704-45a43b642623 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a1c8815d-c40a-4910-8704-45a43b642623 22nd April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR164237 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.harlow.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
