## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by the Office of Water Services (Ofwat) sought to acquire a Social Media Scheduling Tool to enhance its communications and policy efforts. This award, complete as of 19th May 2025, falls under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems. Located in England, the procurement was part of a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The process concluded with a tender period ending on 31st March 2025, leading into a contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, valued at £33,600. The supplier awarded the contract is Orlo Ltd.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in software and information systems, particularly those specialising in social media tools and analytics. Companies with expertise in providing solutions that enhance digital engagement and policy-driven communication strategies would find a good fit here. Although the procurement did not indicate a specific preference for small or VCSE (voluntary, community and social enterprises) businesses, larger entities, similar to Orlo Ltd, are better suited to compete due to the scale and requirements of the project.
