Corrigendum-Station Advertising
AI Summary
The procurement concerns a concession agreement for the management, operating and exploitation of advertising space at train stations across the United Kingdom. The contracting authority, Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, is inviting bids from a concessionaire who will be responsible for maintaining, managing, operating and exploiting advertising space at stations currently operated by Network Rail and participating Department for Transport Operator train operating companies, with the understanding that these assets may transition into Great British Railways or a successor structure during the lifetime of the contract. The scope of the concession includes a baseline allocation of advertising space available from the commencement of the contract and the potential incorporation of additional advertising opportunities at Network Rail stations, DFTO train operated stations, and related assets as they become available or are transferred.
The selected concessionaire will be required to provide ongoing maintenance, content management and operational services that ensure optimal utilization of the advertising real estate, while also integrating future advertising opportunities as the rail network evolves. All submissions must demonstrate compliance with the technical envelope and commercial model criteria, with the former carrying a weightage of 60 % and the latter of 40 %. The concession will require adherence to the defined technical envelope and commercial model criteria.
Description
The scope of the concession opportunity is described in this tender notice and the associated tender documents. It is intended to include advertising space at stations operated by Network Rail and participating Department for Transport Operator (DFTO) train operating companies, recognising that these organisations are expected to transition into Great British Railways (GBR) or a successor structure. Some advertising space will be included from concession contract commencement, with additional advertising space expected to be incorporated during the contract term.
The exact timing, volume and sequencing of all additional advertising opportunities is not yet known. The concession contract will therefore include mechanisms to allow further advertising space, including at Network Rail, participating DFTO train operated stations and/or assets that transfer into GBR or any successor organisation, to be incorporated during the life of the contract where appropriate.
Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is the Contracting Authority for this Procurement and is conducting the Procurement on its own behalf, Department for Transport Operator Limited (DFTO) Train Operating Companies (TOCS) and on behalf of future DFTO train operating companies (TOCS) to be transferred. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to novate, transfer, amend or otherwise manage the resulting contract to reflect future rail industry reform, including the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR), the transfer of relevant Network Rail and DFTO TOC functions or assets into GBR, or any successor organisation.
The estimated value of this concession is based on forecast advertising revenues over the contract term. Due to factors including advertising demand, occupancy levels, future asset onboarding and market conditions, actual revenues may vary. Network Rail estimates that the total concession value is likely to fall within the range of £1.9 billion to £2.2 billion over the contract term.
