Part 3: Public service broadcasters Chapter 1: C4C Section 30: C4C’s duties in relation to commissioning programmes
This section places C4C under a duty to put in place and adhere to procedures to facilitate fair competition for their commissions for their broadcast and on-demand services (where they are, or form part of, a "designated internet programme service"), which should include, among other things, procedures for referring disputes between producers and C4C to mediation. Alongside their statement of media content policy C4C must also prepare and publish a statement of commissioning policy as to their proposals for securing procedures that facilitate fair competition, and to report on their performance in carrying out these proposals.
	OFCOM are required to review C4C’s performance of its duties in relation to commissioning media content, alongside their review of C4C’s media content duties, and to prepare a report on their findings. As with C4C’s statement of media content duties, OFCOM are to have powers to enforce the commissioning statement against C4C by way of directions.
