Description

The BBC has a requirement for the provision of promotional merchandise, where a supplier can provide the BBC with branded promotional items for use in our marketing and communication campaigns. These items will be given away to external audiences and members of the public at various exhibitions, outreach campaigns and other events, with the intention of promoting the various brands, messages, content and corporate identities of the BBC. There may also be occasions where these products will be distributed internally, for example, for internal communications or for training courses. The BBC counts approximately 20,000 employees spread across 67 English locations (including the Channel Islands), 16 Scottish locations, 9 Welsh locations and 6 locations in Northern Ireland. The requirement will be to be able to cover all these territories, along with any future BBC locations that may arise during the life of the new contract. However, we envisage that the majority of the delivery points will remain within mainland UK. The BBC spend on Promotional Merchandise is allocated to support the various BBC learning and educational campaigns, pan BBC marketing initiatives, and to promote local radio stations and news programmes that cover the length and breadth of the UK.
