Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service

The requirement for a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service sits within the BBC Technology and Media Operations group, and specifically the Digital Distribution team. * Digital Distribution has had a Network DDoS Protection service in place since 2016 to protect the BBC’s Internet Network. The purpose of this is to provide a malicious traffic ‘scrubbing’ facility in the event of a volumetric packet-based or protocol-based traffic attack targeting the services on the network and exhausting circuit or server capacity. It forms part of a suite of protection services and techniques required to continually protect the BBC’s Internet edge from attack. * The BBC’s Internet Network carries all the BBC's audience facing traffic and CDN origin traffic. Additionally, it provides transit for the corporate network. The availability of this network and services delivered across it are crucial in maintaining the BBC’s online presence for critical services such as www.bbc.co.uk and BBC iPlayer. * The current DDoS protection service has been provided by the incumbent supplier since 2019. The BBC is now entering a tender process to procure this service from December 2025 and ensure continued network DDoS protection.

Digital Assessment Platform

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is seeking a high-quality service provider to revolutionise the assessment process for Certificates of Competency (CoC) by delivering modernised, practical application-based examinations. This crucial service will focus exclusively on safety-critical subjects within the CoC routes, ensuring candidates are rigorously evaluated on their ability to apply knowledge in real-world onboard scenarios. The service provider will be responsible for delivering these assessments in accordance with the modernised syllabus, utilising sample question styles, and administering them on secure, dedicated digital devices supplied and managed by the provider. Given the current volume of MCA CoC examinations approximately 2,000 Deck, 1,500 Engineer, and 70 ETO, the chosen provider must demonstrate capacity and robust quality assurance processes to handle this significant throughput while maintaining the highest standards of assessment integrity. Specifically, the service must cover the following safety-critical areas: • Deck Officers: Deck, Navigation, and Stability. • Marine Engineers: Engineering Knowledge, supplemented by Motor or Steam-specific content tailored to individual candidate sea service experience. • Electro-Technical Officers (ETOs): Electrical Safety. The MCA requires a service that not only meets but exceeds current standards, ensuring the future generation of maritime professionals are equipped with the practical skills and knowledge necessary for safe and effective operations. This investment in modernised assessment will significantly enhance maritime safety and contribute to the UK's leading role in international maritime standards.
