Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

Brighton & Hove City Council proposed an open tender for a new bus and taxi shelter advertising concession lasting eight years, with an option to extend by up to 24 months. It also proposed extending the current concession for up to 12 months, with a further six-month option, while the procurement process takes place.

Recommendation

Delegate authority to the Executive Director Economy, Environment & Culture to tender for a new Bus & Taxi Shelter Advertising Concession for eight years, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, and approve an extension of the current concession for up to 12 months with a further six-month extension option.

Financial impact

The current net concession income is commercially sensitive and is not disclosed. The proposed contract extension has no direct financial implications, while not extending the contract could result in lost advertising income and revenue overspends.
