Advertising concession solution

Portsmouth City Council (the council) is seeking to create a concession solution (CS) from which it can award contracts for advertising in the city.

The CS may also be accessed via other local authorities named in the concession documents.

The CS will be split into 7 lots and suppliers can apply for multiple lots.

The CS will be open for an initial period of 10 years extendable up to 15 years.

The council has an ongoing requirement to create or upgrade advertising infrastructure (digital and non-digital) and aims to upgrade existing non-digital advertising infrastructure in the city on council land.

Through this process the council is also seeking to source a concessionaire to generate advertising income from opportunities presented by the council's own website.

Application is via submission of a supplier selection questionnaire.

The initial qualification of the 7 lots will be phased so as to manage the CS creation process, the evaluation process will commence from 6 Jan 2020.

PLEASE NOTE: Suppliers who are submitting an SSQ after the initial return deadline of 6th January 2020 must notify the Council that they have made a submission via Intend correspondence and by also e-mailing procurement@portsmouthcc.gov.uk Submissions received after the initial return deadline will be evaluated within 10 days of the received notification and suppliers will be informed of their acceptance (or non-acceptance) onto the CS as soon as possible.
