The focus is on IT services and administrative services for business operations, aiming to enhance the BBC's ability to become more agile and data-driven. The BBC is seeking market insights from suppliers who can contribute to modernising core business services through technologies like cloud computing, automation, data, and AI. This process is at the planning stage, with a due date for supplier responses by 22nd September 2025. Although no contract will be awarded from this Request for Information (RFI) alone, it may lead to future procurement opportunities. This tender represents a formidable opportunity for businesses specialising in consulting, software development, Internet support, and administrative services to engage with one of the UK's most reputable public authorities. Companies with a proven track record in using technology to streamline operations and improve business functions, especially those experienced in digital transformation, will find this opportunity highly advantageous for demonstrating their expertise. Participation in this process allows businesses to influence and understand the future direction of the BBC's procurement strategy, providing insights that might shape potential future contracts. ## Notice The BBC is transforming to become the most agile, data-driven and audience-focused version of itself in our history. As a public service mission-led broadcaster, we're proud of our legacy of innovation -- and committed to evolving in ways that deliver even greater value for all. To support this journey, we're inviting insights from expert suppliers who've helped organisations modernise core business services at pace -- especially through cloud, automation, data, and AI. We are seeking expert supplier insights and experience to support how we can strengthen our current capabilities and build new ones across our core business functions. We want to learn from those who've navigated digital disruption, built smarter operations, and reimagined services to meet changing audience and workforce needs - using new technology, streamlining processes, and forming new partnerships. This includes both our existing partners and the wider market. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided to the BBC in response to this Request for Information (RFI) will be treated as confidential and non-binding. No contract will be awarded as a consequence of this process, however, the BBC may launch a procurement opportunity in the future. THE CONTRACT DATES PROVIDED IN THIS NOTICE ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY. Responding to this RFI is not a prerequisite for participation in a subsequent procurement, nor does it give any advantage in that procurement. The BBC would welcome responses to this RFI in order that the BBC can build an understanding regarding the current and future market and opportunities in relation to our transformation. Our goal: a leaner, smarter BBC -- ready to serve the public now and for generations to come. ### Planning Information In order to take part in this RFI, please take the following steps: 1 - Register your company on the Jaggaer eSourcing 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 RFI: 2.1 - Login to the portal with the username/password. 2.2 - Click the 'PQQs Open to all Suppliers' link. 2.3 - Click on the relevant PQQ to access the content.
