At BBS, we know that the best work comes from strong partnerships built on trust and mutual respect. We're proud to work alongside a community of talented and creative production professionals. In that spirit, we want to talk about a critical element of our shared work: the importance of a transparent and fair bidding process.

The Foundation of Our Partnership

Our industry thrives on collaboration and creativity. As production consultants, our role is to protect the integrity of the creative work and the financial interests of the clients we serve. A fair and open bidding process is not just a formality—it's the foundation of that trust. It ensures that the numbers are clear, accurate, and truly reflect the value of the work being proposed.

Whilst we believe the vast majority of our partners operate with the highest level of integrity, the pressures of the industry can sometimes lead to uncomfortable situations including unethical bidding. That's why we're committed to fostering an environment where ethical practices are not only expected but also actively protected.

A Call for Confidentiality and Integrity

We have a duty to our clients to ensure fairness and uphold the highest standards of integrity. To that end, we've created a confidential channel for feedback bidintegrity@bbsworldwide.com. If you've ever felt pressured into bidding practices that don’t align with your values, or if you've witnessed anything that compromises the integrity of the process, we urge you to share it with us.

Any information you provide will be handled with the utmost discretion. Our commitment is to our clients, our partners, and the ethical standards of our industry. We will protect our sources and use the information to ensure fairness for everyone involved.

Partnering for a Better Industry

You should never lose work due to unfair bidding practices. By working together, we can ensure that our corner of the advertising world remains a benchmark for integrity. Your partnership is invaluable, and by standing together to promote visibility throughout the bidding and production process, we can ensure a more trustworthy and sustainable future for our industry.

Thank you for your continued partnership.
