HCC 03/16 - Provision of Bus Shelters and Bus Stop Cleaning and Maintenance in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire County Council Highways Department are currently out to tender for the provision of Bus Shelters and Bus Stop Cleaning and Maintenance in Hertfordshire. Therefore the Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified and experienced organisations for the supply, installation and maintenance of bus shelters (i.e. advertising and non-advertising) and the generation of revenue sharing from the placing of advertising on these shelters.

This procurement has been divided into 3 Lots:-

Lot 1 - The Provision, Maintenance and Cleaning of Advertising and Non-Advertising Shelters at specified sites across the County of Hertfordshire (public concession contract and shall be at nil cost to the Council).

Lot 2 - The Provision of Regular Bus Stop Maintenance and Cleaning Services at both Non-Advertising Shelter and Non-Shelter sites across the County of Hertfordshire (public contract).

Lot 3 - The Provision, Maintenance and Cleaning of Advertising, Non-Advertising Shelters and Non-Shelter sites across the County of Hertfordshire (a combination of Lots 1 and 2 above).

Please note that the Council can award any Lot but there is no intention to award all 3 Lots. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenderers can tender for any of the Lots, i.e. on the basis of the following:-

• Lot 1 only
• Lot 2 only
• Lots 1 and 2 (both individually)
• Lot 3 (a combination of Lot 1 and 2 combining the commercial benefits)

Submitting a tender for one Lot does not exclude the same Tenderer from submitting a tender for the other Lots.

In view of the Lots and subject to the successful completion of the procurement process, the Council intends to award a public concession contract and a public contract. This procurement is a one stage procurement process. Suppliers wishing to take part in this project are invited to “express interest” which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.

To be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit a Bid by the deadline of 12.00 Noon on 16th May 2016.

Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above. Please allow sufficient time to make your return as late returns will not be permitted by the system.

Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed and attested under the common seal of the Council. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate.
