Strategic three-year partnership marks delivery phase of BFBS’ next-generation media vision
Media organisation and military charity BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) today announces it has selected Synamedia as its strategic technology partner to deliver its next-generation global digital platform, following a highly competitive international tender process launched in February 2025, attracting leading technology and media organisations from across the industry.
The announcement comes shortly after the Ministry of Defence renewed BFBS’ contract for a further ten years, reaffirming BFBS’ vital role as a trusted and secure global military broadcaster supporting the UK Armed Forces wherever they serve. As a longstanding and essential provider of media services to Defence audiences worldwide, BFBS continues to play a central role in keeping personnel informed, entertained and connected across some of the most complex and challenging operating environments. Together these milestones mark the beginning of the most significant technological transformation in more than eight decades of BFBS’ history.
Following detailed technical evaluation and industry consultation, with support from digital transformation experts Spicy Mango, Synamedia’s appointment concludes a rigorous process to help shape the future of secure media delivery for the UK Armed Forces and their families worldwide.
