The BBC uses Digital Participatory Experiences, such as quizzes or personality tests, to engage with our audience. These come in many formats.
The BBC is looking to license a product that will enable the continuation of these participatory experiences.
The requirement is to be procured by means of a Framework Agreement. BBC intends to appoint a single supplier to the Framework.
Participatory experiences are fundamental to our content offering across Children’s, Sport, News and BBC 3 to help better engage our audience and build a deeper relationship through participation.
In Children’s, these experiences are one of the most popular content types (second only to games), so any gap in production of these may result in a reduction in reach and retention of our youngest audience.
Children’s also has a long-term ambition for participatory experiences, that is closely aligned to the BBC’s vision for a more personal, participatory BBC:
The BBC products mentioned above vary in the amount of traffic they receive and the volume of participatory experiences they publish. Estimated typical figures are shown below. These figures are expected to increase over the lifetime of the contract.
BBC Product: New participatory experiences published per week: Impressions per week (all participatory experiences)

The Parties agree that the BBC may extend the Initial Term for up to 2 (two) separate periods of up to 12 (twelve) months per period commencing on expiry of the Initial Term and the first extension respectively.
