Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process aims to support the BBC News World Service in enhancing audience reach among younger people and women. The estimated spend over 5 years for both lots is between £17 million and £20 million. The tender includes global media planning and buying across multiple regions and languages. The deadline for submission of expressions of interest was updated to February 16, 2023.

The BBC aims to engage agencies that can help drive audience retention and engagement through targeted media strategies across varied platforms and geographic regions.
