This initiative falls under the insurance services industry category, particularly focusing on insurance brokerage and agency services. The procurement process is set to engage potential suppliers until 25th August 2020, which marks the end date for expressing interest in this opportunity. This tender is crucial for the BBC as it seeks to provide adequate medical insurance in locations where state-provided coverage is insufficient, thereby supporting employee well-being and compliance with local regulations. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in insurance brokerage and related services, as the BBC is looking for a partner to enhance its offerings and competitiveness. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in international insurance could find themselves well-positioned to bid for this contract. By participating in this procurement, suitable firms can potentially expand their market presence and contribute to the BBC's mission to attract and retain top talent through supportive health insurance solutions across various regions, including British Overseas Territories and Europe. ## Notice It is the BBC's position to provide medical insurance, matched to local market practice, in countries where the state does not provide adequate cover. This is a key lever in the attraction and retention of talent outside of the UK, allows the BBC to have a competitive offering and is a statutory requirement in several countries. The BBC does not have the same recognition as an employer outside of the UK and in and the organisations with which we compete for talent do widely offer this benefit. The BBC wishes to drive simplification, efficiency and cost saving whilst at the same time continuing to support the wellbeing of employees and being a key driver in the attraction and retention of the best talent and the best leaders in the industry In several countries medical insurance is a statutory requirement and the BBC must be compliant with local legislation. In other locations this is market practice as healthcare systems do not always provide adequate cover and in some countries, there is no state health system in place. The BBC are seeking a broker to: 1. benchmark the current provision against market and local regulatory practice 2. provide recommendations as to the appropriate level of cover for each market and is compliant 3. run a market review exercise and provide the BBC with the most competitive and suitable terms available in the market Additional information: Please register your interest in this RFI by taking the following steps: 1 - Register your company on the BravoSolution e-Tendering portal (this is only required once): 1.1 Go to https://bbc.bravosolution.co.uk 1.2 - Click the link on the login page to register. 1.3 Accept the terms and conditions and click 'Continue'. 1.4 - Enter your correct business and user details. 1.5 - Note the username you chose and click 'Save' when complete. 1.6 - You will shortly receive an email with your temporary password. 2 - Express an interest in the tender: 2.1 - Login to the portal with the username/password. 2.2 - Click the 'PQQs/ITTs Open to all Suppliers' link.
