Coverage: 14 active published awards; 9 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding the implementation of a new Discretionary Access Control (DAC) System for managing physical keys across its operations. The DAC system is currently deployed across more than 20 BBC locations—from BBC Scotland to BBC Plymouth. While workflows vary between sites, the system’s primary purpose is to control access and provide an audit trail for the use of physical assets in production environments, particularly within TV and Radio Production. These assets include keys to premises, devices, technical areas, equipment, and broadcast vehicles.
The BBC aims to enhance its key management capabilities by adopting a solution that supports DAC principles, improves auditability, and integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure. The aim is to achieve this by May 2027.
