Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking to procure Internet Protocol Address Metadata services (Location Data) to enhance their content protection and targeting efforts across online platforms like BBC iPlayer. The procurement, classified under data services (CPV code: 72300000), is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £625,000 over an initial period of three years, starting from 1 October 2022, and includes options for two additional one-year extensions. The procurement process was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 19 April 2022.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in data services and technological solutions, particularly those proficient in IP metadata handling. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given the BBC's openness to engaging innovative and potentially flexible service providers. Companies with capabilities to offer tailored metadata solutions, a robust database of raw data access, and a history of adapting to market trends are encouraged to explore this opportunity.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Internet Protocol Address Metadata services (Location Data)

Notice Description

The BBC requires Services to provide the look-up capability to discover metadata about Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses, including geographical location, in order to assist the BBC in protecting content on its online services, targeting its online products including BBC iPlayer, and for other related purposes, at the BBC's discretion. The BBC requires the Services to provide unlimited capability (i.e. without a usage limit) for a term of 3 (three) years with an option to renew twice by up to 12 (twelve) months on each occasion. The BBC requires the Services to provide a database of raw data that the BBC may access using its own applications and/or using the Supplier's application(s), however the Services must not be a hosted software as a service solution. The BBC requires the Services to be proven to be sufficiently flexible to take account of the constantly evolving market for IP metadata services and the emergence of new functional and non-functional requirements. The BBC expects to take a role in product development in relation to the Services in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Agreement. Initial term of the contract is for a period of 3 years with two possible extensions of 12 months each.
