Notice Title

Fixed Line Voting; IVR & MSDC

Notice Description

The BBC is looking for suppliers to provide the telecommunications services and infrastructure for premium and non-premium rate promotions via interactive voice response (IVR), mobile short dial codes (MDSCs), or live call-handling. These will be either on the supplier's own platform with appropriate overflow where necessary or by use of mass-calling platforms. The fully managed service will include securing and maintaining numbers, testing, providing a support team to include account management and technical support, escalation and contingency plans, agreement of work orders and any project-specific special terms (if appropriate), data management and financial reconciliation, financial and other reporting, to be provided by the Supplier, or indirectly via sub-contractors. Section C - Specification Of Requirements of the Tender Documentation has further, detailed requirements. The value of these framework agreements are dependent on the volume of fixed line votes

Lot Information

High Profile Live Events with Revenue Share

Options: The frameworks initial term is for a period of 2 years. The Framework Agreements may be extended at the BBC's discretion by up to an additional 2 years. If the BBC wishes to exercise this option, it will give written notice to the successful provider no later than 90 days prior to the end of the initial term.

Fixed Price IVR & MSDC Voting Events

Lot 2 will provide services for Countryfile, and Sports Personality of the Year, as well as any other voting events of a similar scale. Lot 2 will also be the first point of contact for any extra IVR-MSDC, BBC Studios services, and Independent Production services.
