Description

The BBC requires Services to provide the look-up capability to discover metadata about Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses, including geographical location, in order to assist the BBC in protecting content on its online services, targeting its online products including BBC iPlayer, and for other related purposes, at the BBC's discretion.

The BBC requires the Services to provide unlimited capability (i.e. without a usage limit) for a term of 3 (three) years with an option to renew twice by up to 12 (twelve) months on each occasion.

The BBC requires the Services to provide a database of raw data that the BBC may access using its own applications and/or using the Supplier's application(s), however the Services must not be a hosted software as a service solution.

The BBC requires the Services to be proven to be sufficiently flexible to take account of the constantly evolving market for IP metadata services and the emergence of new functional and non-functional requirements.

The BBC expects to take a role in product development in relation to the Services in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Agreement.

Initial term of the contract is for a period of 3 years with two possible extensions of 12 months each.
