HCC 06/26 Pre-Market Engagement for Concessionary Bus Shelter Contract
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Business Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
Hertfordshire County Council publishes Business Services work continuously — 23 notices, roughly one every 49 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
71% of Hertfordshire County 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 →
Hertfordshire County Council (The ‘Council’) is carrying out PME in relation to the provision of a concessionary advertising bus shelter contract across Hertfordshire.
The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making.
For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.
Participation or non-participation in the PME shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PME shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process.
Participation in the PME will be at each organisations own cost.
No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the Council.
To access the PME documentation please visit the Council’s e-tendering system Supply Hertfordshire, run by Intend at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire and follow the on-screen guidance.
To participate in this PME, organisations must return their completed Supplier Questionnaire (Appendix A of the PME Document), together with any supporting documents, through the Correspondence area of this project by the return deadline of 12.00 Noon on 29 June 2026.
Supplier Questionnaires received after the deadline may not be reviewed at the Council’s sole discretion.
Please make sure that you have submitted your Supplier Questionnaire following the instructions within the PME documentation and e-tendering system.
The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Supplier Questionnaire.
If you are experiencing problems with the Supply Hertfordshire website, In-Tend offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK support desk which can be contacted via email: support@in-tend.co.uk or Telephone: +44 1144070065 for any website/technical questions, Monday to Friday, 8:30-17:00.
In addition, there is an option for organisations to attend Individual Supplier Meetings on 16th July 2026 this will take place at the Council’s premises in Stevenage.
Please note that attendance requests for the Industry Open Day provider meeting must be received by 3rd July 2026 by email rachel.hall@hertfordshire.gov.uk and the invitation link will be sent to you
