UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Beckett University procured an integrated media monitoring and management service for its communications and media-relations activity. The requirement covers monitoring print, broadcast and online media, maintaining a media database, distributing content to media systems, managing media enquiries, and providing a platform for tracking and evaluating coverage. This is a data and market-research service, including CPV codes 72300000 and 79310000. The work is for the university and is delivered in Leeds, within the United Kingdom. The service is intended to give the university a joined-up way to identify relevant coverage, manage media contacts and enquiries, distribute information, and assess the effectiveness of its media activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to Onclusive/ Precise Media Monitoring Limited. The award date was 20 August 2026 and the awarded value was £80,000 gross. Six bids were received, with four reaching the final stage. The award was based on price at 40%, service functionality and features at 30%, implementation and service delivery at 10%, contract management at 10%, and social value at 10%. The awarded contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2028, with an option to extend for a further two years, to a maximum end date of 2 September 2030. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from a UK university for a managed media-intelligence service rather than a standalone monitoring tool. Suppliers would need to combine reliable print, broadcast and online monitoring with a searchable media database, media-enquiry support, content distribution to media systems, and tracking and evaluation functions. A credible competitor would also need a well-developed implementation and service-delivery approach, effective contract management, and the ability to demonstrate service functionality clearly. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality overall than on price, so platform capability, usability, dependable delivery and measurable service management would be important alongside competitive pricing. The requirement was judged suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist providers with the relevant technology and delivery capacity could compete.
