Tender description

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: The BBC is undertaking this Request for Information (RFI) to understand the capabilities of the market for privacy and AI governance platforms. This RFI is intended to identify products that broadly meet the BBC's requirements, understand the maturity of available solutions, obtain indicative implementation and licensing costs, and inform any future procurement activity. This RFI is issued for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to procure any solution.

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.
