This initiative is part of the goods procurement category, specifically focusing on office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies. The procurement is underway in London, England, with submissions closing on 21 March 2019.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the technology and software sectors to expand their offerings by engaging with the BBC.

## Notice

We want to explore the different tools available for remote research - the planning, implementation and analysis of research conducted without being face-to-face with participants. This could be either moderated or unmoderated, and may be either qualitative or quantitative in nature. We encourage responses from innovative/leading-edge suppliers, both start-ups and established organisations. The BBC welcomes responses to this RFI in order to inform our thinking prior to any potential procurement exercise. Responding to this RFI will allow the BBC to: - build an understanding of current solutions available in the marketplace - gain feedback on: -the availability of solutions in the marketplace, -whether there is one solution to meet the needs, or whether these would need to be met by a variety of solutions -whether functionality not currently met is on a supplier's roadmap Should you choose to respond to this RFI the BBC will take consider all responses when shaping any future procurement activity.
