## Summary

The procurement process involves Torbay Council, seeking a service provider for the "Bus Shelter Advertising Contract" aimed at maintaining and cleaning 162 bus shelters in the South West of England. The procurement has reached the Award stage, with the contract valued at £350,000, financed through advertising revenue. The contract period commenced on 1st May 2018 and extends to 30th April 2038. Following two unsuccessful open tender processes, the council opted for a limited procurement method and successfully negotiated with the current providers.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete for this contract, leveraging their adaptability and local knowledge.
