Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by National Highways, operating out of Guildford, England, involves the acquisition of a social media publishing tool under the title "ITEP0974 - Social Media Publishing Tool." This project falls within the services industry category, specifically IT software packages (CPV code: 48517000). The procurement process was conducted via direct procurement, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, and has reached the award stage, with a contract period set from 25th September 2025 to 24th September 2028. The initial tender period concluded on 1st September 2025, with the award to Hootsuite Media Inc. being published on 21st October 2025. The project is valued at £302,133.75.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT software and digital tools, specifically those experienced in delivering large-scale social media solutions. Although it was awarded to Hootsuite Media Inc., a large-scale supplier, the process demonstrates the potential for similar businesses to engage in future tenders with organisations like National Highways. Companies with robust digital service offerings and experience in comprehensive social media management and publishing would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement opportunities.
