Secure Bike Park and Advertising

Cardiff Council are developing several key strategic cycleways across the city. These measures will prioritise active travel and public transport, in line with the Authority’s White Paper aspirations. These significant changes will see a reduction in road space for car users, with the potential to change general traffic movements along the proposed routes. New road layouts with cycleway and bus prioritisation are proposed. There is a need to gain a thorough understanding of what the impact these measures could bring, or if alternative options/measures could be more favourable or reduce impact. To support this goal, the Council seeks to appoint specialist contractor/contractors to design, install, operate, and maintain a network of Secure Cycle Parking facilities with built in Advertising across Cardiff City Centre. This project forms part of a wider initiative to create a comprehensive and user-friendly cycling infrastructure and build on the existing digital and non-digital advertising. The Council’s requirements include but are not restricted to: - The Cycle Parking with Advertising Screens security should be monitored remotely - The Cycle Parking with Advertising Screens will need a highly secure locking mechanism for users’ bikes. - The Cycle Parking with Advertising Screens should embrace latest technology, meaning the Cycle Parking will be accessed by users via an app/web-based system e.g. QR codes. - No outlay by Cardiff Council and the installation operation and maintenance costs of the Secure Cycle Parking and the Advertising Screens are covered by income from the advertising opportunity. - There is an aspiration for a profit share from the appointed company of the net income from the advertising. - Subject to the use of advertising boards, it would be necessary for the service provider to meet certain requirements to avoid breach of contract with existing providers within the city centre and wider city area. Note that 6-sheet advertising boards will not be acceptable due to existing agreements in place. Contract clauses should also be considered where bus stop advertising is in place and free-standing advertising units. - At the end of the contract period it is required for the Cycle Parking Stands to revert to Council ownership.
