This project falls under the industry category of Market and Economic Research, Polling, and Statistics, and encompasses services across various regions including the British Overseas Territories and Europe. The process used an open procurement method and reached the 'Award' stage, resulting in AIMediaData Limited trading as Vuelio being awarded the contract. The contract period spans from 1 June 2025 to 30 June 2028, with a value of £48,000. The renewal option is available annually at Historic England's discretion, with a three months' notice period. The tender period concluded on 27 January 2025. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in media monitoring services and large-scale database management. Companies that offer comprehensive media coverage analytics and have the capability to provide adaptable solutions without additional costs could benefit greatly from this opportunity. Furthermore, the requirement for extensive media contact databases means businesses that maintain up-to-date journalist and outlet information would be well-positioned to compete. The proposed structure, allowing bids for separate components, also encourages participation from firms that either specialise in media monitoring or database services, or offer both with integrated benefits. This contract further underscores the importance of robust customer support and adaptability in service delivery, making it an excellent growth opportunity for businesses with these strengths. ## Notice The Historic England media team needs to source a media monitoring service to monitor the coverage we secure from proactive work and receive organically. We need to monitor national, regional and trade coverage in print, broadcast and online. We would also be interested in the possibility of monitoring international coverage. It should be a reliable service which covers a multitude of keywords that can be easily adapted based on our changing campaigns (and ideally at no extra cost). We would expect any supplier to have an extensive source list. We need to be able to demonstrate all coverage achieved in clear, succinct and eye-catching ways, including our regional coverage volumes which should be broken down by key English regions. We currently monitor and "tag" our coverage by theme, based on various areas of our work. This is done automatically through the media monitoring software and can also be done manually in the platform. This allows us to demonstrate how stories related to different themes of our work perform against each other, or which areas of our work the media cover most regularly. We would like this function to continue, or for a sensible replacement of this feature to be proposed. We need for a team of 10-12 colleagues to be able to access the platform and receive regular training for using the platform/getting the most out of the service. We also require that 15-20 people receive daily coverage alerts which are easy to read, broken down in a sensible way for quick accessibility, ideally with a one sentence or more summary for each headline in the roundup. We collate a summary of gained coverage for our organization every day. For this we share all manner of coverage, including broadcast clippings, so we require a quick and easy way to edit and share broadcast clippings within the platform. We would expect a high level of customer service support, with a named contact available to handle any issues we're having at any time. The contract for this would need to commence 1 July 2025. Duration 3 year. Renewable annually at Historic England's discretion. Three months' notice period. We also need to source a media database so the media team can research journalists and outlets across the UK to promote our stories. The database needs to be extensive with contacts for national, regional, local and trade outlets in the UK and, possibly international. Information about journalists and outlets should include contact details, subject areas covered and preferred method of contact. This database should be updated regularly. We need to be able to create themed lists of contacts within the database, which can be shared with all users at Historic England and also have the ability to add private contacts to the database. The media monitoring and database could be bid for separately or together. We will not give preference to either unless combining the two services provides additional benefits such as a discount ... ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a83c6b65-15ec-419c-b553-dd0fc0f50092 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | 31 May 2025 - 30 Jun 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £48,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENGLAND | | Locality | WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AIMEDIADATA LIMITED TRADING AS VUELIO | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics - 79342310 - Customer survey services ## Release History - 7 Jul 2025 at 12:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a83c6b65-15ec-419c-b553-dd0fc0f50092 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a83c6b65-15ec-419c-b553-dd0fc0f50092 7th July 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
