About the buyer

The British Broadcasting Corporation broadcasts TV, radio and online services across the UK, buying as a central body with its own commercial and procurement team. Suppliers also submit tenders and requests to participate through the BBC's Bravo e-sourcing portal. Larger contracts are listed on Find a Tender. Framework agreements list approved suppliers across lots covering consultancy, digital design, digital games and broadcast systems. The restricted procedure opens first with a PQQ stage before suppliers reach a full invitation to tender. Bids are judged against the most economically advantageous tender, weighing quality, sustainability, innovation and accessibility alongside price.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of BBC's contract awards have been in IT services, business services and construction work.
