The procurement process, classified as open with an above-threshold method, is at the Tender stage. Interested businesses should be aware that the submission deadline is set for 14th November 2018, with the contract period commencing from 1st March 2019 and running until 28th February 2023. The total contract value amounts to £3,000,000, covering various locations including the United Kingdom as well as some British Overseas Territories and Europe. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the printing and fulfilment sectors, particularly those who manage large-scale print production and logistics. Suppliers that can demonstrate experience in subcontracting to meet extensive requirements are encouraged to compete, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions. As the BBC will award contracts to both a single print partner and a limited number of fulfilment service providers, there is potential for strong collaboration and growth in a competitive market. ## Notice Lot 1: Marketing Print (1 supplier only) The BBC is looking to appoint a Print Partner to manage the pan-BBC Print requirements and will be responsible for all print production in relation to these requirements.The print partner will be expected to enter into subcontracts with a range of print providers who will meet the BBC's requirements throughout the UK including Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Lot 1 will be directly managed by the Print Partner and the BBC will have no direct contractual relationship with the subcontracted print providers.The print partner is free to provide some elements of the service itself. Lot 2: Fulfilment & Response Services(a maximum of 3 suppliers) for Fulfilment & Direct Mail services.Storing/mailing out of printed material to end users.For both Lots, the contract terms will be an initial term of 2 years with the possible further extension of up to 24 months in 12 month periods.
