## Summary

North Somerset Council commissioned independent specialist consultancy for a bus shelter advertising concession. The work covers advising on the development, shaping and procurement of the concession, together with contract assurance after procurement. The intended concession is to reflect the scale, quality and configuration of the Council’s bus shelter estate. This is an advertising consultancy services requirement, classified under CPV 79341100. The buyer is North Somerset Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is associated with the Council’s bus shelter estate in the North Somerset area. The requirement is therefore aimed at businesses combining out-of-home advertising knowledge with public-sector procurement advice, concession development and assurance experience, rather than suppliers providing advertising space, shelter construction or general marketing services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It consisted of one lot. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 July 2027, with an extension option of a further seven months, allowing a maximum end date of 16 February 2028. The awarded contract value is £27,750 excluding VAT, or £33,300 including VAT. The selected supplier is The Out of Home Media Consultancy Ltd. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation details are not stated beyond the limited competition route, so the key differentiator was the ability to meet the Council’s requirements for specialist consultancy supporting concession development, procurement and contract assurance.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist out-of-home media consultancy within a local authority setting. Businesses seeking similar work would need credible experience of bus shelter or comparable outdoor advertising concessions, including understanding the commercial potential and configuration of an estate. They would also need to advise independently on shaping a concession, support a compliant procurement process and provide contract assurance once an operator is appointed. Useful capability would include translating an authority’s estate, quality expectations and scale into a workable concession model, alongside knowledge of advertising markets, operator arrangements and public-sector governance. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of focused advisory commission can suit a specialist consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm.

## Notice

The Supplier shall provide independent consultancy and advisory support to assist the Council in developing, shaping and procuring a bus shelter advertising concession that reflects the scale, quality and configuration of the Council's estate.
