See the short description II.2.4).
In the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, shelters were traditionally placed, managed, maintained and advertised by each municipality separately. STIB wishes 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. And other communes, actors of the transition, have already entrusted STIB with the management of current shelters.
The market consists of a framework agreement. The orders of the shelters will be able to take place only when the zone will be entrusted to the STIB. This is already the case on a dozen Communes.
The framework agreement is concluded with 1 successful bidder. This is about 2000 new shelters, of which about 800 will have to be placed as soon as possible after the launch of the market, according to a model prescribed by the STIB. The successful bidder must assume that the dynamic real-time traveler 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 operation of advertising in shelters (including the delivery of advertising boxes).
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 contract concerning the management and maintenance of shelters may be of shorter duration.
