Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has awarded a contract for the "Social Media Publishing Platform" under the ID EHRC 2223-22. The procurement falls under the category of Software package and information systems (CPV 48000000) and covers the provision of a platform for scheduling, publishing, and monitoring social media activity, with added social listening features. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from the G-Cloud 13 framework agreement. The contract, valued at £34,314.84 GBP, will be effective from 24th January 2023 until 23rd January 2026 and requires services to be delivered across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, and Wales. The contract was awarded to Orlo, registered as SocialSignIn Ltd, and the procurement stage is complete. Key dates include the tender period ending on 19th December 2022 and the award date on 23rd December 2022.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in software and social media management solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this contract especially attractive due to its relatively modest value and explicit suitability for SME participation. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive social media management tools and those with experience in public sector procurement would be well-suited to compete. The successful delivery of this contract could enhance a company's portfolio and credibility within the digital marketing and public sector markets.
