Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured a media monitoring platform for its Communications Team. The requirement is for a software service to monitor media, rather than bespoke software development or consultancy. Work is for the council in Southampton, England. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework agreement, a route for buying cloud-based digital services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Access Intelligence Media and Communication Limited, trading as Vuelio. The award date was 12 October 2026. The awarded value is £60,000. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The wider tender estimated value was £600,000. This was a selective framework call-off, with a submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not give evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be stated.

The award shows demand at Southampton City Council for a media monitoring platform supporting communications work, delivered through a cloud-services framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a platform suited to monitoring media for a council communications team, and to supply it through an appropriate framework call-off route. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this kind of requirement can be met by a supplier of that scale. The award provides a concrete reference point for firms offering media monitoring software and services to local government; broader software programming or consultancy capability alone is not evidence of fit unless it supports this specific platform requirement.
