THE ONE SHOW Invitation to Pitch

1

I N V I T A T I O N T O P I T C H SECTION A – Introduction 1.0 OBJECTIVE 1.1 This document is an Invitation to Pitch (“ITP”) for insert films (“Inserts”) for the BBC’s The One Show.

The One Show is the BBC’s flagship live, topical magazine programme, which broadcasts on BBC One from 7pm Monday-Friday each week. The One Show fuses topical stories, world-renowned guests and informative and entertaining films from across the whole of the UK.

1.2 These Inserts are currently produced by a range of producers and span a variety of genres, formats and subjects, with approximately 3-4 Inserts per 30’ programme.

1.3 This opportunity is for any supplier, whether qualifying independent producers, non-qualifying independent producers; or BBC Studios to pitch to produce the inserts (“Producer”).

1.4 The BBC is seeking to encourage and support the longer term sustainability of production in the Nations/Regions. Successful Producers will be selected to reflect a range of suppliers from across the UK.

1.5 A Successful Producer will be expected to demonstrate that it has the skills to deliver the production of the Inserts in accordance with this ITP.

1.6 Please note that members of The One Show team employed by BBC Studios will be involved in the evaluation panel. This is necessary to ensure the editorial cohesion of the Inserts within the wider show. Measures will be in place to ensure the process is run on a non-discriminatory basis to ensure fairness and confidentiality.

1.8 The BBC is a signatory to, and will abide by the principles of, the APC Code: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/apc_code_2009.pdf

1.9 The BBC will keep confidential all commercially sensitive information included in responses to this ITP and will only use this information for the purposes of evaluating the Pitch, provided that the Producer has identified the confidential nature of any such information in their response documents. 1.10 Producers submit responses to this ITP and take part in this process at their own cost. 2.0 SCOPE 2.1 We are seeking to commission up to approximately 400 Inserts of approximately 4’ duration for delivery across 19/20.

2.2 We are looking to commission bundles of Inserts from a number of different Producers. 2.3 The number of Inserts in a bundle will be determined by the BBC. The bundles may consist of commissioned ideas, and where appropriate, TBAs/front-runners.

2.4 Inserts will be required to be tech-reviewed and delivered from mid-March 2019 and Available to Schedule from 1st April 2019 on a rolling basis.

3.0 PITCH PROCESS The pitch process will involve the following stages: 3.1 Stage 1: Eligibility

Following a request, the BBC may take the views of organisations submitting pitches into account when making a decision on what information will be disclosed.
