UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited procured political monitoring services, including an online portal. The requirement combines political monitoring with software and data services, covering industry-specific, communications and multimedia, and other software and computer systems. The service is for use across the United Kingdom. This is a specialist information and technology service rather than a general software supply: the work centres on monitoring political developments and providing access through a dedicated portal. The selected supplier is based in London, while the service delivery scope is UK-wide.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to POLIMONITOR LIMITED. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2028, with two optional extensions of up to 12 months each, potentially extending the term to 15 November 2030. The contract value is £34,000 excluding VAT (£40,800 including VAT). The process was below threshold; the method is recorded as unknown. It was arranged as one lot. The award covers political monitoring services and the associated portal, including software and data services. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award indicates that Post Office Limited buys a combined political monitoring and portal service, with software and data provision supporting monitoring activity across the United Kingdom. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to bring together reliable political monitoring expertise with the capability to provide and maintain a dedicated online portal and relevant data services. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large-scale provider. The contract is a focused specialist service, so suppliers with experience integrating monitoring content, software access and ongoing data delivery would be well placed to compete when this buyer’s requirement returns.
