Request for Information: BBC Authoritative Internet DNS Solution

This is a Request for Information ('RFI') in relation to a 'BBC Authoritative Internet DNS Solution'. The BBC would welcome responses to this RFI in order to inform our thinking prior to any potential procurement exercise. Responding to this RFI will allow the BBC to build an understanding of current solutions available in the marketplace, and gain feedback on: 1. the availability of solutions in the marketplace; 2. whether there is one solution to meet the needs, or whether these would need to be met by differing solutions; 3. whether functionality not currently met is on a supplier's roadmap and any cost/timescales associated with building it in; 4. indicative costs and timescales for the on boarding of the solution; 5. support of solution; and 6. any barriers to the implementation of the product/solution. Should you choose to respond to this RFI, the BBC will take on board all other responses to the RFI when shaping any future procurement activity. For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided to the BBC in response to this RFI will be treated as confidential and non-binding. No contract will be awarded as a consequence of this RFI process, however, the BBC anticipates launching a procurement opportunity in the near future. Responding to this RFI is not a prerequisite for participation in a subsequent procurement, nor does it give any advantage in that procurement. The BBC would welcome responses to this RFI in order that the BBC can build an understanding regarding the current and future provision of the project. * * Please submit all questions in relation to this RFI via the BBC's eSourcing portal * * Instructions on how to register and gain access to the portal can be found under 'More Information'.
