## Description
The BBC produces and publishes content across a broad range of broadcast and digital platforms, encompassing short form, long form and social formats. Source media originates from diverse inputs including professional camera crews, self-shot devices, user generated content, graphics and archive materials. To support this, production teams require reliable ingest workflows, rich and consistent metadata, strong identity and access controls, collaborative editing capabilities, efficient review and approval processes, and appropriate automation across hybrid on premises and cloud environments.
The BBC has well established and strategically aligned solutions that support News and craft editing workflows, and these remain the core platforms for those areas. This RFI is not intended to identify alternatives or replacements for those established workflows. Instead, the BBC is exploring opportunities to enhance media production capabilities in parts of the wider production landscape that are not currently served by dedicated, organisation wide tooling. As part of this forward-looking assessment, we are seeking to understand market capabilities that could help strengthen consistency, governance and interoperability across these broader production needs.
Through this RFI, the BBC is seeking insight into vendor capabilities that could inform a unified ‘Production Library’ concept, a well governed platform supporting a broad range of functional requirements and able to integrate effectively with existing BBC workflows. Market input will help shape future policy and technology decisions and ensure alignment with industry best practice.
