## Summary

Eastbourne Borough Council, in collaboration with Lewes District Council, has completed a public procurement process for the project titled "LDC & EBBC - Bus Shelter Provision, Advertising & Maintenance." The focus of this procurement, under the services category, was to engage a contractor to install and maintain bus shelters while generating advertising revenue. The procurement followed an open procedure and was conducted in the United Kingdom, specifically the region designated as UKJ22. The process has moved through various stages: initially tendered in 2025 and subsequently awarded in March 2026, with key contract dates spanning from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2036, with possible extension options up to 2046. Trueform Engineering Limited was awarded the contract, valued at approximately £18 million.

This procurement initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction, infrastructure maintenance, and advertising sectors. Companies providing innovative solutions in transport infrastructure, particularly those with capabilities in digital advertising and maintenance services, would find the project beneficial. The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises is encouraged, as evidenced by the participation and success of Trueform Engineering Limited, a recognised SME in the field. The long-term nature of the contract with potential renewal options further emphasises its value in supporting business growth and stability in these sectors over the next two decades.

## Notice

Bus shelters within the Lewes District and Eastbourne Borough Councils (LEC) portfolio provide comfort and protection from the elements to waiting passengers and a means of providing public transport information, as well as a medium for providing viable and profitable commercial advertising in high footfall and vehicle traffic areas. The Councils are seeking to engage an experienced Contractor to work with the Councils to install and maintain a portfolio of bus shelters and raise revenue from the sale of advertising from units positioned on or within the bus shelters. The primary focus of the contract is the provision of high-quality bus shelters and associated advertising revenue, with special consideration for innovation and added value through digitisation or other means such as the introduction of FSU's.
