Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is planning to initiate a procurement process for a "Device Testing Platform RFI" aimed at exploring software testing solutions, classified within the services industry. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a communication published on 25 August 2021.
