Summary of the contracting process

Historic England bought online social-listening software to monitor its owned social media content across 30 profiles, as well as earned content on social media platforms and online news. The service supports tracking topics of interest, including mentions of Historic England and posts from relevant stakeholders. This is a software service for monitoring and analysing online content, delivered for Historic England in England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fenix Media Limited trading as Pulsar on 22 October 2026. The award value is £5,392. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 15 December 2026 to 14 June 2027. The tender deadline was 22 October 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For suppliers of social-listening software, this award shows Historic England’s requirement for monitoring owned social channels across 30 profiles and tracking earned social-media and online-news content. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable coverage across these sources and support monitoring of organisation-specific mentions and stakeholder activity. The requirement is a focused software service rather than a broad communications or media-management contract; suppliers whose products can deliver targeted listening and practical monitoring across multiple profiles are the closest fit. Historic England’s use of a framework call-off also indicates the route used for this purchase.
