Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured media monitoring and evaluation services for the Ministry and its arm’s-length bodies. The requirement covers tracking and evaluating coverage in print and online media, providing research services across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, based in London. This is a services contract suited to providers that can monitor a broad range of media markets and produce useful analysis of coverage for a central government department and multiple associated public bodies.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from the RM6126 Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. Bids were due by 4 June 2026 at 12 noon. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to Press Data on 22 June 2026 for £198,524. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2029. The published outcome records the award as active. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a single service requirement covering media monitoring and evaluation for the Ministry of Justice and its arm’s-length bodies, rather than separate lots.

This award demonstrates demand for a specialist media intelligence supplier able to monitor both print and online coverage across domestic and international locations, then evaluate its significance for a government department and several arm’s-length bodies. A credible future competitor would need dependable, wide-ranging media access, structured monitoring processes and the analytical capability to turn coverage into clear reporting and insight. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller provider could compete if it can demonstrate sufficient operational resilience, geographic reach and capacity to support several public-sector stakeholders through one coordinated service. Experience of high-volume monitoring, media evaluation and public-sector communications would strengthen its position.
