Whilst Nadine Dorries may not be sure how long the BBC will last, someone in the DCMS is allowing Auntie to sign new contracts that will run for 22 years. It's looking for a property developer to help provide a new base in Birmingham...
The BBC is expanding its operations in Birmingham. Additional BBC Radio and News teams will be moving to Birmingham in the next few years. The BBC has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) to increase the amount of content it produces in the Midlands, particularly in Birmingham.
The expansion of the BBC in Birmingham coincides with the BBC's current lease at The Mailbox expiring in June 2026, as well as clarity on the BBC's sustainability strategy, the adoption of new hybrid working patterns, and wider technological changes.
The initial term of the contract will run for a period of 22 years plus two optional additional extension period of 12 months each.
Value of contract
£50,000,000
