Description

Launched by the British Council in 2001, The Selector is an international showcase for the best new music the UK has to offer. It is one of the British Council Music team's main assets and acts as a springboard for other projects in countries around the world, for example Selector PRO - a music industry development programme - and Selector Live which gives an opportunity for top UK music talent to perform overseas. The Selector Radio show is an award-winning, multi-genre weekly radio show that covers house, indie, folk, soul, grime and everything in between. The Selector After Dark show invites a top UK DJ to provide a one-hour mix. We periodically produce Selector Sessions, two filmed tracks and interviews with UK bands, that we host on our British Council Arts YouTube channel.

We are looking for one supplier to meet the below requirements for a one-year contract with options for extension annually up to a total of 3 years.
