The Managed Service of Prop Provision to BBC Commissioned Productions

Tender description

The purpose of this Tender is to find the best solution for providing the BBC with a wide range of appropriate props, products and services within the confines of the BBC editorial guidelines under the heading of Prop Provision. BBC Drama, Comedy and selected Entertainment/Factual Entertainment programmes will, on occasion require the use of props, products and services to be shown in the background or prominently on screen during the shooting of the programme and subsequently transmitted on BBC Television or other BBC platforms including but not restricted to www.bbc.co.uk or http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer. The use of these props is strictly controlled, particularly if they are well known brands. The BBC is looking to appoint suppliers who have an extensive client base who can supply a wide range of goods and services for short to long term hire to BBC in-house production teams and Independent Production Companies commissioned by the BBC to produce programmes transmitted on BBC platforms, subject to the BBC prop provision guidelines. http://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/guidelines/editorial-integrity/product-prominence#heading-supply-of-props-in-drama-comedy-or-entertainment.
