Competitive tender In 2016, as part of their new charter agreement, the BBC announced that they would put all their programmes which were due for recommission out to competitive tender over an eleven-year period, with independent companies invited to bid to make the shows, although the BBC would retain all interstitial property rights. A Question of Sport was the first programme to go through this process with BBC Studios winning the commission and retaining the rights to make the show in house. Songs of Praise followed shortly after but on 10 March 2017 it was announced that the tender had been won by two independent production companies; Avanti Media based in Cardiff and Nine Lives Media located in Manchester who would be producing the show for the next three years as a co-production. Avanti Media also produced its Welsh-language originator Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol from 2006 until 2017 when its production tender was won by Rondo Media (a company which also produces Welsh soap opera Rownd a Rownd). In May 2022, Avanti and Nine Lives announced they would not renew their tender deal to produce the series, with the BBC announcing that they would look for a new company to produce the show beginning in June 2023.
