City of Sydney’s street furniture transition to QMS delayed further

The QMS takeover of City of Sydney’s street furniture contract has been delayed again, with the transition from current contract holder JC Decaux to now take place in September.

QMS was awarded the street furniture and outdoor advertising contract for City of Sydney in June of 2020, after a prolonged negotiation process, and after Australia’s largest out-of-home contract opened up expressions of interest (EOI) in 2017.

JC Decaux’s contract was originally set to end in 2018, but has been extended on multiple occasions, with a spokesperson for City of Sydney now revealing a further extension through to September.
