Request for Information - BBC - Media Buying - Lot 1 and Lot 2

This document is a Request for Information ('RFI') in relation to Media Buying (Lot 1 - Off-Air and Lot 2 - Digital).

The BBC International News Division would welcome responses to this RFI to inform our thinking prior to any potential procurement exercise. The BBC International News Division would encourage responses for both Lots where applicable, and the BBC International News Division would like to hear from suppliers that can only respond to either Lot 1 or Lot 2 as well.

For Lot 1 the BBC International News Division is exploring information in relation to overarching strategic support as well as international above the line media planning and buying expertise.

For Lot 2 the BBC International News Division is exploring information in relation to overarching strategic support as well as language specialisms to deliver a broad range of digital promotions in up to 40 languages.

The BBC International News Marketing Division has spent some time recently reviewing its marketing estate and assessing our on-going requirements in light of the current and future market offer.
