ANALYSIS PREVIEW

Opportunity intelligence at a glance

BBC is conducting preliminary market engagement (a request for information), not an open tender, for options for on-premises live-production playout servers. The servers would need to integrate with existing site infrastructure as BBC moves editing to its cloud-hosted “Jupiter Cloud” TAMS system. The indicative scope covers five UK sites, each with multiple studios (up to 15 at one site).

Who this may suit

Potential fit for suppliers with on-premises broadcast playout-server offerings and evidenced compatibility with existing broadcast-site infrastructure. This is early-stage market engagement; any eventual supplier appointment, submission requirements and commercial terms are unknown.
