Bus Shelter Operating Contract
No value: the buyer is not paying for this — the notice is flagged a concession, so the money runs the other way.
Swale Borough Council has published 8 Repair & Maintenance notices, about every 10 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around June 2027.
16% of Swale Borough Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Bus Shelter Operating Contract – Swale Borough Council Area This Notice provides information of a future opportunity to provide a bus shelter supply, operation and maintenance service for bus shelter locations and infrastructure in the Swale Borough area in Kent.
