Introduction

Delivering Quality pulls together all the technical standards within the BBC, and via this site, aims to make information available to suppliers, third parties and contractors. Its overall objective is to ensure that the brand name of the BBC is enhanced by its use of technology.

Compliance with Delivering Quality is mandatory. All contracts drawn up with a technology element will include a statement to this effect and will direct suppliers to the relevant standards. Please see Help and Compliance for information on being kept up to-date with changes.

A number of standards are commercially confidential, and therefore do not appear on this site. Where appropriate these will be made available to 3rd parties during contract negotiations and subject to a Non Disclosure Agreement.

For information on other guidelines and policies, please see BBC Guidelines.

If you would like to be notified of all updates please e-mail the Delivering Quality Manager: dqm@bbc.co.uk, and include "DQ Update List" in the subject.
