The aim is to establish competitive agreements providing a broad range of equipment and high service levels. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a target spend range of \u00a34 - \u00a36 million over a 4-year term. The deadline for submissions is 31st January 2024. This procurement opportunity by the BBC offers businesses in the television camera industry a chance to secure contracts for supplying various camera systems and accessories. Companies specialised in studio camera systems, field cameras, consumer/prosumer cameras, professional broadcast lenses, camera battery systems, and camera accessories are well-suited to compete. Interested suppliers are required to register via the BBC's e-Tendering portal and adhere to the specified submission criteria outlined in the tender documentation. ## Notice The BBC is seeking to establish a roster of non-exclusive, best value for money pan-BBC framework agreements for the provision of Professional and Consumer Cameras and Accessories. The aim of the framework is to provide competitive agreements covering a broad and diverse range of equipment, high service levels, high quality comprehensive technical back up and support, warranty and guidance on equipment use, inclusive in product pricing, together with part exchange provision, for a full range of products. The lot structure is as follows: LOT 1: STUDIO CAMERA SYSTEMS AND ACCESSORIES LOT 2: FIELD CAMERAS AND ACCESSORIES LOT 3: CONSUMER/PROSUMER CAMERAS AND ACCESSORIES LOT 4: PROFESSIONAL BROADCAST LENSES LOT 5: ADVANCED CAMERA BATTERY SYSTEMS LOT 6: ALL OTHER CAMERA ACCESSORIES The spend range over the term of 4 years for all lots is estimated to be between PS4 - PS6 million. The spend ranges are not committed spend ranges, and are therefore "only an estimation" of spend that could be made through the Framework Agreement. ### Lot Information Lot LOT 1 STUDIO CAMERA SYSTEMS AND ACCESSORIES This lot includes all types of cameras, CCUs, MCUs and other peripherals found in a studio and outside broadcast environment, including PTZs and box cameras. Lot LOT 2: FIELD CAMERAS AND ACCESSORIES This lot covers cameras and accessories that are used for single person operation and personal digital production across most BBC genres - usually but not exclusively for location shoots. These cameras are provided with either an integral fixed lens or will permit the use of changeable professional broadcast lenses and accessories suitable for a more experienced operator. Lot LOT 3: CONSUMER/PROSUMER CAMERAS AND ACCESSORIES These are cameras which do not meet minimum EBU R118 defined HD requirements and are primarily targeted for consumer and non-broadcast use, but are used in the creative process. This includes a comprehensive range of consumer cameras, camcorders, interchangeable lenses, peripherals and supports. Lot LOT 4: PROFESSIONAL BROADCAST LENSES AND ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES Lenses for cameras in Lots 1 and 2, which can accept a variety of lenses with or without adaptors which are used for different applications, making the cameras more versatile (for example, wider zoom range and greater ability in low-light).

Lot LOT 6: ALL OTHER CAMERA ACCESSORIES This lot covers all accessories that may be bought separately from cameras in lots 1 and 2.
