Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "GeoIP (Location Data) RFI". This initiative is aimed at gathering information regarding available solutions for location data and will conclude its engagement period on 16 April 2021. The procurement falls under the broadcasting equipment category (CPV code: 32210000) and is open to suppliers located in the United Kingdom and across Europe, including British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands.

This Request for Information presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in location data to engage with the BBC. Participating suppliers will have the chance to influence the upcoming procurement process by providing insights into the availability and functionality of their products. Although responding to this RFI is not compulsory for future bidding, suppliers well-versed in location data technologies would be particularly well-suited to respond, helping the BBC refine its requirements before the official procurement exercise is launched.
