This initiative, identified as "Hubs and Libraries Digital Screens and Information Kiosks," falls under the services category, specifically focusing on advertising services. The council is seeking expressions of interest from experienced commercial operators to manage these digital assets, potentially opening up new revenue streams through commercial advertising. Interested parties must submit their market engagement details by 9th January 2026, prior to a future notice anticipated on 23rd January 2026. The project is set within the Cardiff area, with the planning stage poised to transition into tender and subsequent stages. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in advertising, digital content management, and public infrastructure technology. By engaging with Cardiff Council's digital communication channels, enterprises can leverage high footfall areas across various hubs and libraries to bolster community interaction and commercial presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, given the suitability for these business types. The successful operator will oversee the full spectrum of advertising operations, ensuring content aligns with council policies while maximising the inventory's commercial potential. ## Notice Cardiff Council Hubs and Library Service is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced commercial operators to manage digital and communication channels on a network of digital screens and information kiosks located throughout the network of Hubs and Libraries buildings.
