Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, initiated by the Cabinet Office, was for a direct award titled "Covid-19 Media Monitoring Direct Award for the Cabinet Office." This procurement, classified under the services category with a focus on database and operating software packages, took place in the United Kingdom and surrounding islands including the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. The tender period ended on 26th March 2020, and the contract was in effect from 27th March 2020 to 8th May 2020. The total contract value was £12,750, awarded through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below threshold.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the media monitoring and data analysis sectors, particularly those offering software solutions or similar services. Firms that have the capability to support government initiatives during crises or have expertise in handling media insights may find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. Given the nature of the procurement, larger organisations or those with a proven track record in public sector engagements would be ideal candidates to consider pursuing similar opportunities in the future.
