competitive pricing and value for money evidenced in excellent levels of customer service, stock availability and delivery,
provided through a punchout website solution.
The BBC requires that all products are generally available from stock, supported by appropriate inventory levels from a
supplier(s) with proven experience of dealing with large multi-site organisations. A range of rapid delivery solutions will be
required to all BBC premises across the UK, with next day delivery as a standard offering and inclusive within pricing of all
products. The Purchasing of products will vary from small ad-hoc requirements through to larger quantities, as required, and be
ordered across the UK via a punchout catalogue, managed by the successful Supplier(s).
It is important for the successful Supplier(s) to embrace new technologies in e-Business solutions and not be resistant to change
management requirements which may include 'indexing' i.e. to enable cross-catalogue searching, and changes to invoicing.
