The commissioning process

Each Network runs one or more commissioning round a year. Other commissioning opportunities may arise outside the rounds. These may use a direct approach in order to meet topical or other urgent or specialist programme/strand requirements. In this instance, commissioners will approach 3 or more suppliers (one of whom is 大象传媒 Audio) and invite them to submit a proposal against the brief.

If suppliers have an idea they鈥檇 like to submit outside the main rounds, they can find the relevant contact details on the Network pages on the Radio Commissioning Site.

Each Network publishes guidelines for the commissioning round, setting out the brief for each genre of programme it wants to commission, as well as any subjects or areas (e.g. an important anniversary) in which it is specifically interested, guide prices, important dates in the process and other useful information.

Independent producers who would like to pitch an idea to a Network must first register using the .

Radio Commissioning Framework

大象传媒 Radio believes in creativity, quality, and value for money, and serving the changing needs of its audiences. We want to work with strong and innovative content suppliers from both 大象传媒 Audio and the independent sector.

The 大象传媒 recognises that:

It is in the interest of the UK radio audience that there is a competitive and thriving production supply sector, both inside and outside the 大象传媒

The 大象传媒 has a role as the nation's principal public service broadcaster to help stimulate and support the development of the production sector across the UK

大象传媒 Radio must reflect the diversity of the UK, and the perspectives and voices of the UK鈥檚 nations and regions.

Each network publishes guidelines for the commissioning round, setting out the brief for each genre of programme it wants to commission, as well as any subjects or areas (e.g. an important anniversary) in which it is specifically interested, guide prices, important dates in the process and other useful information. To understand more about the different processes for each type of commission (eg strand, batch, direct), please see the

The principal commissioning process for Radio is run by each network through one or more commissioning rounds per year, details of which can be found below.

Some programmes/strands are commissioned outside these rounds - for more information, please visit individual network pages.

Our diversity, representation and inclusion strategy

We have pledged to hardwire diversity into everything we do, both internally and in the way we work with programme makers.

We expect content makers to come to us with ideas that have diversity, representation and inclusion built into their development, and all producers will be expected to engage in a meaningful dialogue with commissioners about this at the start of the creative process. We want to work with producers who share our values.

We are committed to growing diversity across the industry via the programmes we commission and the teams who make them. To help achieve our ambitions we have made a commitment that comes into effect on 1 April 2021.

• A commitment for us to invest 拢12 million in diverse production and content
