## Summary

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is conducting a procurement process for the "BBC Music Studios, East Bank. Fit Out Works." This project falls under the industry category of building alteration work and is located at the former Olympic site in Stratford, East London. The procurement is facilitated through an open, competitive flexible procedure, currently in the tender stage. Key dates include the deadline for initial tender submissions by 9th February 2026 and the final award period ending on 26th March 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £17 million gross (£13.6 million net), will start on 1st April 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2027. The BBC seeks to enhance its capability to deliver diverse musical content through this new state-of-the-art facility.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for construction companies specialising in high-quality fit-out works. With a significant focus on the involvement of SMEs, as indicated by the suitability criteria, businesses with expertise in managing large-scale projects and offering competitive pricing would be well-positioned to compete. Opportunities exist for collaboration with key partners in the cultural and creative sectors, linked through shared site usage with the V&A, Sadler’s Wells, and UAL at the East Bank development. Participants can expect engagement in direct procurement processes, site visits, and detailed evaluations, allowing experienced firms to showcase their capability to deliver within the stipulated standards and timelines.

## Notice

For almost a century, Maida Vale Studios has served as an important asset in supporting the BBC's commitment to make the widest range of music available to widest possible audience. However, it is clear that the facility is no longer fit for purpose in supporting the BBC's future aspirations. As such the BBC prepares to welcome a new purpose-built home on the former Olympic site in Stratford, East London. The new site, delivered in association with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), brings partnerships with the V&A, Sadler's Wells and UAL, and is designed to house and facilitate the BBC's live music output from the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, the BBC Singers, and the BBC's Rock and Pop output. The project is split into two phases: The Shell and Core of the BBC building and masterplan for the site is being delivered by the developer LLDC, the Construction Manager Mace, and the Architects Allies and Morrison. The BBC is responsible for the design and delivery of the Fit-Out of the space. The core project team for the Fit-Out works is shown below:
