[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](/opportunities/for-small-businesses)## About this tender Since 2010 the BBC has had in place a Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of an extensive range of Professional Audio Equipment (PAE). This is a re-tender for that pan-BBC framework covering a range of broadcast equipment. The current framework has 16 lots but this re-tender aims to condense this into a singular lot as our top 4 suppliers now provide kit across all areas so we will expect all suppliers that bid to be able provide the majority, if not all of the kit. The type of equipment includes including Microphones, Mixing Consoles and Auxiliary Audio Studio Equipment and will be made available via catalogue for our internal BBC stakeholders including subsidaries.
