## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is initiating a procurement process for a Social Media Analysis Platform through a tender notice entitled "Social Media Analysis Platform - Supplier Event and Request for Information". The project is situated in London, England, and the procurement stage is currently at the planning phase. Interested businesses must register their interest via the FCA’s eSourcing portal by 12th June 2018 at 10:00 GMT, ahead of a Supplier Event scheduled for 15th June 2018. This project falls under the information and software systems industry category, specifically classified under CPV code 48000000.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, especially those with expertise in social media analytics and related content monitoring. Companies that can offer innovative, effective platforms suited to enhance social media presence and impact measurement would be particularly well-suited to compete. The FCA is looking for value-driven proposals and emphasises that this engagement is a prelude to a comprehensive supplier selection process, making it critical for interested firms to demonstrate their capabilities during the upcoming Supplier Event.

## Notice

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is intending to run a re-procurement for a social media analysis platform. We are seeking the best value and most effective option for providing access to social media and other relevant content through Software as a Service (SaaS) social media analysis platform. The FCA is looking for a platform to include social media and other relevant content. Requirements are largely concerned with the ability to support monitoring of the FCA's own social media (e.g. measuring the impact and effectiveness of the FCA's social presence), and to search social media in support of research into relevant sectors and firms. With this early engagement notice, the FCA would like to: a) give potential tenderers advance notice that the FCA are currently evaluating its procurement options; b) advise potential tenderers of an upcoming Supplier Event which will be held via teleconference on 15th June 2018, and c) give potential tenderers access to a Request for Information (RFI) document. To register your interest, please access the FCA eSourcing portal: https://fca.bravosolution.co.uk and in particular project_18253 by 12th June 2018 at 10am (10:00 GMT). Note that interested organisations need to complete the Registration Questionnaire and sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) via Bravo, in order to attend the Supplier Event and receive the RFI document. It should also be noted that the RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. Additional information: To register for this event, please access the FCA eSourcing portal, Bravo: 1.
