The BBC has tendered for a digital services framework for the development of mobile applications, online services, interactive TV and a range of other digital services.

The contract is believed to be worth as much as £5.4 million and would replace contracts held by Magnetic North, Do Tank, Collective and VML London, which are coming to an end.

The contract specifies that suppliers “may be required to work across aspect of the BBC’s online portfolio”.

The head of market engagement at BBC Future Media said that the digital services framework would be familiar to suppliers who had registered with the Government Digital Service Store (GDS).

Applications for tender will need to be received by the 2pm deadline on 16th May.
