Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited procured social media management software: a software solution for managing and monitoring social media content. The purchase is classified as goods and covers one lot. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool. The requirement is for a software product rather than a stated programme of social media content creation or marketing services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sprinklr, Inc. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028. Its value is £73,975.51 including gross value as recorded. Evaluation criteria are not stated in the published process information.

This award shows demand at Riverside Group for a software solution that combines social media content management with monitoring. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to provide a product that supports both functions, rather than offering social media management services alone. The previous award went to a large software supplier through a direct award without competition, so a future competitor would need a credible, established solution suited to an organisation-wide buyer. The procurement does not describe specific technical integrations, accreditations or service levels, so the demonstrated requirement is the software capability itself and its fit for managing and monitoring social media content.
