Welsh SME, Bus Shelters Ltd, is in line for a £17.5m maintenance deal working on Transport for the West Midlands' (TfWM) asset portfolio.
The deal covers maintenance of bus shelters, totems, cycle and mobility hubs and all park and ride sites. It is still under a standstill until early May, but is set to run from 1 July to 31 March 2031, with possible extension until 31 March 2036.
TfWM said: 'Maintenance provision under this contract is varied but the majority of repairs are undertaken due to vandalism and typically involve repairs to glazing, bus shelter framework, bus stop pole damage or component items fitted to shelters or poles such as stop plates or seating.
'This work will include the removal and re-installation of bus shelters, stop poles or information points at existing or new sites.'
Bus Shelters Ltd, which is based in Llandow, will also be required 'to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability by integrating sustainable development into their operating practices and culture', TfWM said.
This could be achieved 'by using low fuel consumption and emissions vehicles, optimising visits to each site, recycling of waste materials, disposing of any controlled waste in an approved manner, work with reusable components, using innovative designs and green technology or ethically sourced materials'.
