## Summary

Greater Manchester Police procured a social media management service for the North West of England. The requirement is a software-based social media management tool for managing all outbound social media content, evaluating social media activity and handling social media contacts. It is classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000), with the main procurement category being services. The solution is intended to support the police force’s management and oversight of its social media communications through one platform. The procurement was made by Greater Manchester Police, based in Manchester, for a supplier able to provide the platform and associated social media management capability as a managed service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a selective call-off from the BLC-0189 Social Media Management Platform Framework. The submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to SocialSignIn Ltd T/A Orlo on 10 August 2026, at a value of £106,104.60. The contract period runs from 12 September 2026 to 11 September 2030. The awarded supplier is SocialSignIn Ltd T/A Orlo. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available procurement information establishes the framework call-off route as the basis for the award.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for a dedicated social media management platform within policing, covering content publishing, evaluation and social media contact management. Suppliers considering future requirements from Greater Manchester Police would need a reliable software product that can manage outbound content across social channels, support structured monitoring and evaluation, and handle interactions with social media users. Credibility would come from proven delivery of an integrated platform rather than a standalone publishing tool, together with the operational capacity to support a police organisation’s communications needs. Experience of framework call-offs would also be commercially relevant, as this buyer has used an established framework route to obtain the service. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating scope for specialist technology providers with relevant capability.
