Additionally, tenderers need to have a minimum share capital of SG$10million and minimum net assets of SG$10 million.If tenderers are unable to comply with the second requirement, the company needs to provide a performance guarantee acceptable by LTA. Instead, the entity providing the performance guarantee needs to at least have a minimum share capital of SG$10 million and minimum net assets of SG$10 million.Current major players in the OOH space in Singapore include JCDecaux, The X Collective (XCO), Mediacorp OOH Media, Moove Media, Clear Channel and SPHMBO, to name a few.

It also bolstered its OOH offering through the launch of 2D illuminated lightboxes and ventured into cinema advertising. Clear Channel Singapore also launched its Play 2.0+ asset recently, in a bid to give advertisers more flexibility and reduce ad inventory wastage.  Last year, Clear Channel won an exclusive five year contract to manage the bus-wrap advertising operations for bus operator Tower Transit Singapore.Moove Media also added new offerings to its OOH arsenal. This includes its Moove Big Top bus in February this year and Moove Bling Bus in May last year. This followed a partnership it struck with new bus company Go-Ahead Singapore, for a period of five years.Meanwhile, SPHMBO made several strides in boosting its OOH offering the past year.
