Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is currently seeking suppliers for its "Marketing Print and Fulfillment Services" tender, which falls under the printing services industry category. The procurement process, classified as open with an above-threshold method, is at the Tender stage. Interested businesses should be aware that the submission deadline is set for 14th November 2018, with the contract period commencing from 1st March 2019 and running until 28th February 2023. The total contract value amounts to £3,000,000, covering various locations including the United Kingdom as well as some British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the printing and fulfilment sectors, particularly those who manage large-scale print production and logistics. Suppliers that can demonstrate experience in subcontracting to meet extensive requirements are encouraged to compete, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions. As the BBC will award contracts to both a single print partner and a limited number of fulfilment service providers, there is potential for strong collaboration and growth in a competitive market.
