Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking to award a contract for relocation services valued at approximately £5.5 million over a five-year term, with the possibility of a one-year extension. This procurement falls under the category of employee relocation services and is classified as a service contract. The tender process is currently complete, with the contract period set to commence on 1st April 2022 and concluding by 31st March 2026. The relocation services are to be managed primarily for staff across the BBC's operations, with a delivery location centred in London. The tender was published on 29th October 2021, with the submission deadline having been on 15th November 2021.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in relocation management services, particularly those equipped to handle both domestic and international relocations. Businesses that can offer comprehensive solutions—ranging from accommodation assistance to compliance with tax regulations—stand to benefit. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to manage complex relocation needs and provide tailored support for BBC staff should consider participating in similar future tenders. The current provider, Sirva Ltd, illustrates the competitive environment and the scope of services being contracted.
