This initiative seeks to establish a long-term contract for the supply and maintenance of bus shelters and associated street furniture, including advertising units. The contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2026 and last until 31st December 2036, with possible extension until 2038. Key industry categories for this tender include installation of street furniture and advertising services, located in the UKG23 region. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled, with expressions of interest due by 30th May 2025, and a meeting planned for the third week of June 2025. Future notices regarding this opportunity will be announced by 8th August 2025. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in street furniture installation and advertising services. Companies with experience in managing and maintaining outdoor structures, particularly in public spaces, would find this contract beneficial for growth. Furthermore, since the hardware ownership, including advertisement units, will transfer to the successful contractor, firms capable of leveraging such assets for further commercial gain could be particularly well-suited. Participation in the market engagement exercises prior to the bidding phase will allow interested parties to effectively prepare and align their proposals to meet the council's expectations. ## Notice The Authority currently has an agreement in place for the provision and maintenance of bus shelters and associated street furniture, including advertising units. This existing contract is due to expire in December 2025. In preparation for this, the Authority is initiating a new procurement process to establish a long-term contract, potentially lasting ten years or more. Under the new arrangement, up to 350 bus shelters may be supplied, along with a limited number of free-standing advertising units. The scope of the contract will also include the ongoing maintenance of these assets to ensure they remain in good condition throughout the term. It is anticipated that all hardware, including shelters and advertisement units, will remain the property of the successful contractor for the duration of the contract. ### Planning Information To express your interest in participating in this market engagement exercise, please email publictransport@stoke.gov.uk by 30th May 2025. A market engagement questionnaire will be issued during the first week of June 2025. The project team will provide guidance on whether the questions should be presented in a conversational format or as part of a presentation during a face-to-face meeting, scheduled for the third week of June 2025 (week commencing 16th June 2025). The exact date and time will be confirmed. This meeting is to be held in Civic Centre, Glebe Street, Stoke on Trent, ST4 1HP. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021460-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Aug 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2026 - 31 Dec 2036 | | 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 | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STOKE ON TRENT CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | STOKE-ON-TRENT | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST4 1HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG23 Stoke-on-Trent | | Local authority | Stoke-on-Trent | | Electoral ward | Hartshill Park & Stoke | | Westminster constituency | Stoke-on-Trent Central | | Delivery location | TLG23 Stoke-on-Trent | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 45233293 - Installation of street furniture - 79341000 - Advertising services ## Release History - 14 May 2025 at 15:32 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021460-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021460-2025 14th May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
