Description

The BBC is looking to appoint two suppliers to a Framework Agreement. Suppliers will be providing a range of services including but not limited to Accessibility Training and Learning, Accessibility Consultancy, Accessibility and Inclusive Design reviews against industry and BBC accessibility guidelines and standards as well as support with non W3C complaint technologies.

A detailed specification is set out in Section C - Specification Of Requirements in the ITT document.

The spend range over the 4 year term is between £400,000 to £600,000

The spend ranges are not committed spend ranges, and are therefore "only an
estimation" of spend that could be made through the Framework Agreement.
