    Brief

    The BBC seeks to establish a Framework Agreement with suppliers of lighting equipment and crew services to support BBC Productions across Public Service Broadcasting, Studios, and Studioworks divisions. This Framework will encompass lighting services for productions of varying durations—short-term, medium-term, and long-term assignments—across multiple UK locations. Suppliers should be capable of providing both lighting equipment and trained crew to meet diverse production requirements. This is a single framework with no separate lots. Interested suppliers should demonstrate their ability to support broadcasting productions with reliable, professional lighting solutions and experienced personnel.
