Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking to engage a contractor through an open procurement process for the role of a Media and Broadcast Systems Integrator. This tender falls under the services category, involving IT services and installation of broadcast equipment, and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement is in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 22nd July 2026 at 14:00 BST, while the enquiry period ends on the 15th of July 2026. The new framework agreement is expected to commence on 1st September 2026, following the expiration of current contracts at the end of August 2026. The procurement method is open, and the agreement will establish a framework that includes both initial and potential future reopening of competition, lasting until 31st August 2034.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in systems integration, IT consulting, and installation services of broadcast-related equipment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly encouraged to participate. Businesses with a strong emphasis on quality service delivery will find this opportunity attractive, as the award criteria fully focus on quality scoring. With the BBC being a prominent public authority, companies that successfully secure a position on this framework can benefit from long-term collaboration and potential renewal beyond the initial contract period.
