This initiative, scheduled in the industry category of advertising services, aims to supply, install, operate, and maintain digital advertising totems in strategic high street locations throughout the borough. The focus is on an advertising-funded model, where the provider handles funding and maintenance, sharing advertising revenues with the Council. The pre-market engagement milestone is set, inviting interested suppliers to respond no later than 12:00 noon on Friday, 11 September 2025. Prospective tenders are expected to be issued later in the year, with an anticipated contract start date of 1 June 2026, lasting until 31 May 2031. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in digital advertising technology and services, including innovative revenue-sharing and income generation models. Companies with experience in similar projects, including the ability to supply and maintain digital media solutions, will find this an attractive opportunity, particularly those capable of working within a commercially-driven, advertising-funded framework. Businesses in the advertising services sector, as well as those capable of offering value through case studies and previous project success, will be well-positioned to benefit and potentially expand their market reach through participation in this upcoming procurement process. ## Notice Telford & Wrekin Council wishes to engage with the market regarding the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of digital advertising Totems in high street locations across the borough. The Council is exploring an advertising-funded model with no capital outlay, where the provider funds and maintains the units and shares advertising revenue with the Council. The Council seeks to understand: - Market capability and innovation in digital Totem technology - Commercial models for income generation and revenue sharing - Experience and case studies of similar schemes in other areas - Potential for Council use of a proportion of advertising slots (e.g. 10 slots per year) This exercise is non-binding and will inform the Council's future procurement strategy. ### Planning Information This is a pre-market engagement to enable Telford & Wrekin Council to interact with potential providers and suppliers before formally starting a procurement process. It's aim is to help the Council understand the market better to refine its requirements based on supplier feedback, to encourage competition and identify challenges ahead. As this is a fact-finding exercise only there is no advantage or disadvantage to suppliers who may or may not take part. If your organisation would like to participate please complete and return the questionnaire which can be found on the Council's e-procurement portal at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/telford/aspx/Home Participants should register as a supplier on the portal (if not already) and completed questionnaires should be returned by 12:00 noon on Friday 11 September 2025. Tenders are expected to be published later in the year to allow mobilisation of contract as soon as possible after that. Contract start and end dates given in this Notice are estimated and may change. If you express an interest in participating in this Pre Market Engagement exercise it will still be your organisation's responsibility to respond to a Contract Notice advertising the start of any procurement exercise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050140-2025 | | 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 | 20 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2026 - 31 May 2031 | | 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 | BOROUGH OF TELFORD & WREKIN | | Locality | TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE | | Post town | Telford | | Postcode | TF3 4JA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG21 Telford and Wrekin | | Local authority | Telford and Wrekin | | Electoral ward | Malinslee & Dawley Bank | | Westminster constituency | Telford | | Delivery location | TLG21 Telford and Wrekin | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79341000 - Advertising services ## Release History - 20 Aug 2025 at 11:08 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050140-2025 - 20 Aug 2025 at 10:53 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050117-2025 - 20 Aug 2025 at 10:43 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050108-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050140-2025 20th August 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050117-2025 20th August 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050108-2025 20th August 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.telford.gov.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/telford/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
