Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) seeking a Service Provider for Network, Hardware and Vendor Support Services, focusing on supporting Juniper and Cisco hardware. The contract, valued between £1,600,000 and £2,400,000 over five years, includes an initial three-year term with a potential two-year extension. This tender was published on 10 August 2018, with the tender period concluding on 7 September 2018.
