HoA Request for Proposal for Broadcasting Services

The Government of the Virgin Islands, through the Office of the House of Assembly, has issued solicitation BVI-TENDER-3498 for professional radio-broadcasting services. The objective is to secure a qualified radio station to provide live coverage of House of Assembly Sittings, approved committee meetings, conferences, and events. The selected provider must ensure reliable, high-quality audio coverage across Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Annegada, Jost Van Dyke, and other inhabited islands. Key deliverables include a freely accessible live online audio stream, integration with the House of Assembly's official platforms, and the facilitation of simultaneous broadcasting by other authorized media outlets. The contractor is also required to provide performance reports detailing audience reach and transmission interruptions. The contract will be awarded to the candidate with the highest overall score based on a 100-point evaluation system. This scoring is weighted toward the financial proposal (40 points), demonstrated experience and competence (20 points), regulatory compliance qualifications (20 points), a valid Trade Licence (10 points), and Certificates of Good Standing (10 points). Financial bids are evaluated on a per-sitting or per-hour basis, with the lowest cost receiving maximum points.
