Bidders are to provide a flexible contract where the terms allow the BBC to fix and un-fix commodity using over-the-counter trading. The contract shall be for a 36 month duration commencing 1st April 2021 and be based on 30 day BACs payment terms.
A volume tolerance product is required that protects them from at least +/-15 % differences between forecasted and actual volumes, measured over each year of the contract. The invoicing of the contracts should be live where possible, i.e. either to published, non-commodity costs or to the achieved, traded, commodity price; the supplier costs should be fixed for the entire contract length and transparently included within the contract.

Where the BBC use a third party to complete their invoice validation, they require bidders to provide Tradacom EDI (or an acceptable ebill) format for invoices to be sent to them. Additionally, having access to PDF copy invoices is important, and is outlined within the tender specification.
