## Summary

The Pensions Regulator procured media monitoring services to support its communications and reputational oversight. The requirement covers a media monitoring service, including implementation, for the regulator, whose address is in Brighton, England. The service is classified as software and information systems (CPV 48000000), but the practical requirement is the provision of monitoring capability rather than general software supply. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and may extend to Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is The Pensions Regulator, with the service awarded to a specialist media and communications provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 16 July 2026 to Access Intelligence Media and Communications Limited (trading as Vuelio), at a stated value of £36,000. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 8 October 2027, including the implementation period. The buyer has three optional 12-month extensions; if all are used, the description gives an approximate total value of £144,000 including VAT. The award is active. Evaluation details recorded for this process do not set out a separate price-quality weighting or detailed scoring basis.

This opportunity shows established demand from The Pensions Regulator for a managed media monitoring capability delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable monitoring across UK and international sources, with coverage capable of extending beyond standard UK media into Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations. Relevant strengths include proven media and communications expertise, dependable software or information-systems capability, implementation planning and the capacity to support an ongoing service with optional extensions. Smaller businesses may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate robust monitoring coverage, accurate reporting, responsive account management and experience serving regulated or public-sector organisations.

## Notice

Provision of Media Monitoring Services to The Pensions Regulator for an initial period of 13-months (including implementation period). This contract has 3 x 12-month optional extensions available, if all 3 are invoked the contract value (including the initial 13-month term) will be approximately PS144,000 (inc VAT)
