[LegalFormTaken]

Where the successful Tenderer is a consortium of firms/partnerships, the Authority anticipates that it will require each member of the consortium to be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the Services. However the Authority reserves the right to require that the successful Tenderer contract in such other form as may be deemed appropriate by the Authority, for example by way of a lead contractor executing the contract, with the other group members being sub-contractors to the lead contractor (in which case sub-contractor direct agreements between the Authority and other group members may be required). Refer to procurement documents for further details.

In addition to this, the successful Tenderer will be required to exploit the advertising media potential of the bus shelters through the sale of advertising rights and the provision of advertising services. It is anticipated that the revenue associated with the advertising sales and services will be shared between the successful Tenderer and the Authority on the basis of a revenue share arrangement to be proposed in the tender. Refer to the procurement documents for further details.
