The BBC is seeking to procure enterprise end user IT and infrastructure services. The service will bring together support of End User technology for over 30,000 BBC staff and extended workforce at any given time across the group, in over 200 BBC locations around the globe, and the support of over 6,000 network devices, 1,500 virtual and physical services in the underlying technology infrastructure. The service will include email; collaboration tools; end user device support; server and network support; service desk and onsite support; and application management. Many of the services directly underpin critical production workflow and playout services. The successful supplier is expected to play a key role in projects to consolidate technology and to drive automation across the BBC, delivering long term savings, and the estimated contract value reflects this potential scope. The cost of delivering our day to day services is expected to be a small proportion of the total potential contract value.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Information technology services (72222300); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 3,609 | 1 median · 7.9 average (1,133 of 3,609 with a bid count) | 1.7 average (1,291 of 3,609 with named award suppliers) | Not published |

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
