For clarity, the Council is seeking to appoint a Digital screen contractor who will supply, install and maintain the digital sign units and necessary content playback hardware and wireless communication required. The Council currently manages various digital assets using Scala Enterprise CMS and will supply and manage all content for the display units within this contract ie we are not looking for a media owner/manager. Identification of suitable locations will be the responsibility of Swansea Council. Proposed locations will be agreed in conjunction with Swansea Council Highways Departments and Pre-Planning feedback from the Swansea Council Planning Department. The length of the contract will be for a period of three (3) years once the units have been installed, tested and handed over to Swansea Council.
