Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office procured communication and multimedia software services for its communications function. The requirement covers two services: media monitoring and a platform for distributing press releases. Delivery is associated with the Serious Fraud Office at 2–4 Cockspur Street, London, England, SW1Y 5BS. This is a service procurement rather than a works or goods contract, and it concerns ongoing access to communications technology and related service capability. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses operating in media intelligence, media monitoring, press office technology, news distribution or wider communications software may find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can provide both monitoring and press release distribution as an integrated service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award procedure. The award was made to Precise Media Monitoring Ltd, trading as Onclusive, on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £31,361.94 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The requirement was classified as communication and multimedia software, and the contract covers services. The tender’s submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 17:00. The published procurement information describes the award as a direct award rather than an open competition. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the Serious Fraud Office for a combined media monitoring service and press release distribution platform. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable media monitoring, accurate and timely tracking of coverage, and a distribution platform capable of supporting press office communications. The ability to deliver both elements as a coherent service would be important, rather than offering only general communications consultancy or a standalone software product. Suppliers should also be able to support a government organisation consistently over a sustained service period, with suitable operational capacity, service continuity and expertise in media relations technology. SMEs and VCSEs are identified as suitable organisation types for this requirement.
