Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has completed a procurement process for a 'Social Media Monitoring Tool', with the awarded contract active as of 24th June 2026. This contract, valued at £9,951 excluding VAT, was awarded without competition under a 'below threshold' direct procurement method. This service contract, categorized under IT services and programming of packaged software products, will serve the region of Sheffield, UK, and is governed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework. The contract period runs from 25th June 2026 until 10th May 2027, with Precise Media Monitoring Ltd (Onclusive) based in London as the supplier.
