The contract, under award stage as of 21st November 2025, is focused on the media and communications sector, particularly within the news-agency services category.

Notice Title

Provision of Media Monitoring Platform

Notice Description

Media monitoring platform - providing Nest media team the ability to search across print, online, and broadcast coverage to pick up real-time stories as they appear, as well as social media and other internet mentions. This should be against pre-set terms, but also allow for more dynamic, ad-hoc searches if a new topic and subject area becomes of interest. Apart from monitoring, analysis of media coverage is equally important, i.e. regular reports on article counts, mention position and sentiments.
