BBC Shortlists Three Bidders for HRO Services

The BBC has selected three bidders in its final shortlist for a potential HR outsourcing partner. Accenture, the US-based outsourcing services provider, Capita, the UK-based outsourcing firm and Xchanging, another UK-based BPO services provider, are the three bidders.

According to BBC, the three firms are selected because of their strategic and service delivery capability. Over the next few months, the BBC will work with the selected bidders and announce the winning bid early next year.
The final HR outsourcing partner will be required to undertake the responsibility for recruitment, remuneration, development, HR administration services, relocation, and occupational health and disability access services. The broadcaster has further clarified that they would prefer one contract partner for all of the services. However, subject to the BBC commercial advantages and service quality concerns, they may award more than one contract.
