Notice Information

Notice Title

Online Voting Platform

Notice Description

The BBC requires a proven, robust, and high-capacity voting platform that will enable the audience to vote online on an editorial subject broadcast by the BBC. The editorial subjects will range from those with a significant material outcome such as deciding the winner or Sports Personality of the Year through to 'just for fun' votes where audience members are asked their opinion on, for example, whether they prefer popular music to classical. The BBC also requires a simple web based interface for the creation and management of individual votes for its production teams to use throughout the lifecycle of a vote. The value published is the maximum expected contract value, however as a framework this may change based on the number of events commissioned each year.
