UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The BBC is buying a digital analytics platform to collect data on how people use its digital services. The requirement covers analysis of user interactions across services operated by the BBC and BBC Studios Limited, supporting around 3,000 users and more than 1,000 custom dashboards used by internal and external stakeholders. The stated data volume is around 160 billion events each month. This is a software and data analysis service, including business intelligence software development. The BBC is the buying organisation. The procurement describes activity across its digital services, but does not identify a specific delivery location.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. Suppliers submit an initial tender with evidence that they meet the participation conditions; the highest-ranked are shortlisted for demonstrations and negotiations, then submit final tenders. The enquiry and bid submission deadline was 20 November 2026 at 14:00. The award decision was due by 31 March 2027. The initial contract term runs from 1 October 2028 to 30 September 2031, with up to three 24-month extensions at the BBC’s discretion, potentially extending to 30 September 2037. The estimated gross value is £28.67 million. There is one lot. Evaluation weights quality at 60% and cost at 40%.

This opportunity is best suited to suppliers able to provide a digital analytics platform that can collect and analyse very high volumes of user interaction data, and support thousands of users across two organisations. The platform must also serve a substantial dashboard user base: the BBC reports more than 1,000 custom dashboards for internal and external stakeholders. Suppliers should be equipped to demonstrate their solution and take part in negotiation sessions if shortlisted, and to provide evidence against the participation conditions with their initial tender. The scale and breadth of use may favour providers with experience delivering enterprise analytics and business intelligence platforms, though the procurement does not state particular accreditations or minimum experience requirements.
