What is being bought

Published requirement description

Gloucestershire County Council are looking to procure the Bus Shelter and Advertising Contract later this year. Our current contract has come to an end with 3 month extensions added to the incumbent supplier with the intention of awarding the new contract to the successful supplier April 2026. We are currently planning the way we structure the contract to encourage bidders.

I'd like to invite you to an informal drop-in session at Shire Hall (Date to be confirmed) for you to have the opportunity to discuss this with us (time to be confirmed).

It will provide us with an opportunity to see how many of you are interested, and also to understand the changes required to reduce barriers you may have faced in past procurements exercises.

If you cannot attend in person, please do contact me by email or phone.

On arrival please telephone 07 for access into the building. Block 5 entrance (Bearlands)
