See the short description II.2.4).

Until now, in the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, the shelters were placed, managed, maintained and advertised by each municipality separately. STIB now wants to take care of this itself as contracting authority. Each municipality decides independently. A number of municipalities are still bound by their current contracts, and this again for several years.

The market consists of a framework agreement, since the order and delivery of the shelters will only take place when the current contract is terminated and if the municipality decides to no longer place shelters. The framework agreement is concluded with 1 successful bidder. This is a maximum of 2,000 new shelters, of which 800 will have to be placed relatively quickly after the launch of the market, and this according to 1 model, as designed by the STIB. The successful tenderer must assume that the real-time passenger information system must be integrated into most shelters.

STIB also wishes to retain the possibility of entrusting the management and maintenance of the shelters to the successful tenderer within the framework of this contract. Another separate public contract is drafted for the use of advertising in shelters (including the delivery of advertising windows). This market also concerns the management and maintenance of shelters. The STIB will decide during the procurement procedure in which these contracts will be awarded the management and maintenance of the shelters, and for how long. The market for the management and maintenance of shelters may be of shorter duration.
