Siemens Business Services has won a £52.7m deal with BBC Scotland to provide the infrastructure for Auntie's new headquarters.

The Beeb's Scottish operations will move to a new home in Pacific Quay, Glasgow, in 2007, which will be fitted out with broadcast technology systems designed and built by SBS.

Among the new tech to be found at the Pacific Quay building is a rich media search facility and digital library.

The BBC recently outsourced its technology to Siemens and is hoping to save £20m as a result of the deal.
