    Brief

    The BBC is seeking to understand current market capabilities for a unified, scalable Election Results System (ERS) that can simultaneously manage multiple election events across the UK. The system must support the complete election workflow including editorial planning, broadcast operations, digital publishing, data analytics, and long-term archiving from pre-election preparation through live results coverage and post-election analysis. Key requirements include: (1) a technical platform that handles data collection, validation, analysis, and distribution; (2) secure access for BBC staff, authorized third parties, and remote election correspondents; (3) maintenance of data security, integrity, and continuous operational availability; and (4) integration with existing BBC systems and workflows. This RFI invites suppliers to demonstrate their current solutions, technical capabilities, scalability features, and experience with large-scale election coverage operations.
