Digital Participatory Experiences

Tender description

This notice is to raise awareness of a Request for Information (RFI), to help the BBC understand what product(s) and services are available to enable it to provide Digital Participatory Experiences as part of its online output. The BBC uses Digital Participatory Experiences (DPEs), such as quizzes and personality tests, across its online output to create engaging content which appeals to all our audiences. The current solution is a third-party, fully managed platform which BBC staff can log into to author DPEs, which are then embedded on pages on the BBC website via iframes - all hosting of DPEs is therefore provided by the third-party. This RFI is intended to help the BBC better understand the market for suppliers of similar DPE solutions which meet some or all of the requirements outlined below. Please note that not all requirements below are fulfilled by the current solution. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided to the BBC in response to this RFI will be treated as confidential and non-binding. No contract will be awarded as a consequence of this RFI process. The BBC welcomes responses to this RFI in order to inform our thinking prior to any potential next steps of our procurement exercise. Responding to this RFI will allow the BBC to: - build an understanding of current solutions available in the marketplace - gain feedback on: - the availability of solutions in the marketplace; - whether there is one solution to meet the needs, or whether these would need to be met by a variety of solutions; and - whether functionality not currently met is on a supplier's roadmap. Should you choose to respond to this RFI the BBC will take on board all responses when shaping any potential future procurement activity. Responding to this RFI is not a prerequisite for participation in a subsequent procurement, nor does it give any advantage in that procurement. The BBC would welcome responses to this RFI so that it can build an understanding regarding the current and future provision of the service.
