Script Management Solution - RFI

Tender description

The BBC are looking for a scripting and scheduling tool for productions across the organisation.

The solution should be able to integrate with Final Draft and MS Word. The high level requirements in part C have been summarised below. The system should provide the following functionalities: - Camera Scripting (multi camera)/music Scripts - Ability to create camera cards - Reporting for costume, props, makeup continuity Scene Scheduling - people, sets, scene (calendar/planning) - Cast & Crew names & contact details (email for distribution of docs) - Ability to create call sheets and unit lists - Auto watermarking - Ability to create sides (talent specific scripts) - Integration with Final Draft - Live schedule tracking - status updates, reasons for overrun etc. - Post production scripting - Cloud storage including managing permissions & sharing - Script management including track changes & permission management - Ability to create running orders - Ability to create story orders (report off script) - APIs This RFI is intended only to elicit information and inform the BBC's future strategy.
