Summary of the contracting process

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process aimed at enabling a digital strategy for TV Licensing. This initiative, titled "TV Licensing Digital Strategy Enablement," focuses on improving automation, data integration, and customer engagement to streamline operations through advanced software solutions. The buying organisation, located in London, United Kingdom, is engaging suppliers for insights on technology capabilities, pricing models, and innovations to inform future procurement decisions. Suppliers interested in participating should sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) by 5th December 2025 to access the Request for Information (RFI) documentation via the BBC's eTendering Portal Jaggaer.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specializing in software package and information systems, particularly those offering license management software development services. With a contract period beginning in December 2026, the procurement encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This exploratory RFI allows businesses to showcase their expertise in campaign management, analytics, and data warehousing, potentially positioning themselves for future contractual relationships as the BBC evolves its digital strategy.
