BBC Birmingham Property Developer

Tender description

The BBC is expanding its operations in Birmingham. Additional BBC Radio and News teams will be moving to Birmingham in the next few years. The BBC has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with West Midlands Combined Authority (WECA) to increase the amount of content it produces in the Midlands, particularly in Birmingham. The expansion of the BBC in Birmingham coincides with the BBC’s current lease at The Mailbox expiring in June 2026, as well as clarity on the BBC’s sustainability strategy, the adoption of new hybrid working patterns, and wider technological changes. The BBC has therefore decided that now is the right time to explore its property options for BBC Birmingham. The aim of this exploration, via a formal procurement exercise, is to appoint a developer that can demonstrate exceptional quality and experience to safely deliver the new home for BBC Birmingham on-time, as well as with the right operational and financial approach for a long-term relationship.
