This initiative falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is aimed at understanding the market's capabilities regarding Production Rights Management. Interested parties should note that the engagement end date is set for 15th March 2019, after which responses will be evaluated. The tendering process will utilise the BravoSolution e-Tendering portal for submissions, with further details accessible through the BBC's official website. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software development, particularly those focused on rights management and digital content distribution. Companies that specialise in technology solutions aimed at streamlining rights management processes will find this tender particularly relevant. By participating, businesses can showcase their capabilities to assist the BBC in modernising its rights management systems, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and contracts within the media industry. ## Notice The BBC welcomes your response to this RFI to help develop its understanding of the market's current and future capabilities with regard to Production Rights Management. This concerns the management of contributor rights and copyright for productions commissioned, acquired, repeated and sold by the BBC and BBC Studios, as well as productions created by BBC Studios for non-BBC commissioners and BBC IP programmes not distributed by BBC Studios Distribution. At present the BBC and BBC Studios use a number of systems and manual processes to manage rights for programmes on public service radio and television channels, non-linear content for online publication and investment and sales by BBC Studios. These systems are used to store rights held against productions using a hierarchy of content (versioning) and are used to determine availability of content for use and contributor payments to be made at time of use and exploitation. The BBC is considering opportunities for changes to rights management including how technology or a more modular approach could enable future rights models, possibilities to streamline rights management systems and opportunities to remove manual processes.
