Cemex has a legal requirement to have the correct licenses in place at each site, where the site plays live TV (even on silent) or music on any device. Each site is required to obtain and keep up to date, their own separate TV and music license, where required. Please follow the guidance below:

Please note:

• When arranging licenses, please ensure that additional to your own name you also add Alan Venning, Travel and Expenses Lead EMEA and Andrea Fowler, Procurement Senior Negotiator, as contacts for your license.
• Please ensure that that you ensure the vendor is sent the PO number, and that it is quoted their invoice when they send it through.
• If you require any further support for your licenses please contact Andrea Fowler in the Procurement team.

Playing a TV

If your site has a TV that plays non-Cemex owned content, (i.e. live TV or BBC iPlayer) with or without sound, there is a legal requirement for your site to have its own Commercial BBC TV License. If the TV plays sound, please also refer to the Music license guidelines below.

This includes the recording and downloading of live TV and applies to any device used to watch or record live TV (personal phones excluded).

The annual licence will cover any staff, customers or visitors to the premise.

A Commercial TV Licence costs £169.50 per year. Please click this link to order yours https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/pay-for-your-tv-licence/index.app

Annual payments will need to be made using a company credit card and claimed back through expenses via Concur.

NEW: If you have established that your site needs a TV licence, (and the TV is showing moving imagery) you will now also require an additional licence from MPCL. The amount you need to pay is based on how many employees might typically watch this TV. The amount is £19.63 per employee; however, you will need to pay for a minimum of 35 users/per annum.  Your license can be purchased via SAP – the MPCL vendor number 3391481. If you require further information about this MPCL license, please contact: Billy Moore, Licensing Representative, Motion Picture Licensing Company (International) Limited – Tel: 01323 385832.

Playing Music

To play any recorded or live music in public on a commercial property, you will need a licence from PPL PRS Ltd. This allows you to legally play music for employees or customers in your business through the radio, TV, other digital devices, and live performances.

The cost of the licence varies based on the size of the space where the music is played and how many people listen to it. For example, at Cemex UK’s head office, there is a PPL PRS music license which covers the ground floor breakout area, which fits 30 people. This license only applies to this room/30 people and not the whole building, or all colleagues.

To purchase your annual music license, head over to https://pplprs.co.uk/themusiclicence/ or call 0800 182 2003  for a quote.

Your license can be purchased via SAP. The PPL PRS vendor number is 3161765.
