## Summary

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has completed the procurement process for an "Online Voting Platform," aimed at enhancing audience engagement through voting on various editorial subjects. This contract falls under the services category, with a total maximum value of £2,000,000. The tender was part of an open procurement method, with the contract period set from 1 January 2018 to 31 January 2021. The open procedure concluded with the award date on 8 February 2018, following a tender period that ended on 17 July 2017, and covers delivery across the United Kingdom and beyond, including British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for software firms and technology providers specialising in high-capacity and robust voting platforms or similar digital solutions. Businesses that can offer a user-friendly web interface and reliable backend systems will find strong potential in this contract. With the BBC's commitment to continually engaging its audience through various events, opportunities may arise for contract renewals or additional projects, thus fostering business growth in the competitive digital services market.

## Notice

The BBC requires a proven, robust, and high-capacity voting platform that will enable the audience to vote online on an editorial subject broadcast by the BBC. The editorial subjects will range from those with a significant material outcome such as deciding the winner or Sports Personality of the Year through to 'just for fun' votes where audience members are asked their opinion on, for example, whether they prefer popular music to classical. The BBC also requires a simple web based interface for the creation and management of individual votes for its production teams to use throughout the lifecycle of a vote. The value published is the maximum expected contract value, however as a framework this may change based on the number of events commissioned each year.
