Spicy Mango appointed to develop and execute BFBS’s strategic tender process for secure media experiences

We are pleased to confirm that BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) has selected Spicy Mango to develop and run a strategic tender process that will conclude this Autumn. It will help transform how secure media experiences are delivered to the UK’s Armed Forces and their families worldwide. This programme focuses on defining future needs, identifying the right partners, and establishing the foundations for a trusted, high-quality service that works anywhere personnel and families are based or operating/deployed.

As a specialist partner in media technology, we will lead a structured procurement approach that covers requirements definition, market engagement, RFP documentation, vendor evaluation and governance. Security, resilience and user experience will sit at the heart of the work, alongside a sharp focus on operational efficiency and long-term value.

Our team brings deep domain expertise across OTT, streaming and digital publishing. By combining strategic consulting with real world engineering experience, we aim to give BFBS the clarity and confidence needed to select the best path forward and deliver secure, reliable, and engaging media services for the armed forces community.

“We are delighted to have Spicy Mango supporting this process. Their experience working with global brands to align strategic goals with scalable and secure products and technologies is incredibly valuable. This partnership will help us chart a clear and confident path as we continue to enhance how we deliver media experiences to our armed forces community.”
