## Summary

Shropshire Council is initiating a procurement process titled "Social Media Management Software," focusing on the acquisition of a software package that falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems." This procurement is classified as goods and is at the planning stage. The primary goal is to secure software that facilitates centralised management of social media activities to ensure compliance and enhance performance analytics. Shropshire Council, located in Shrewsbury, UKG22, United Kingdom, is managing this process.

The financial value of this procurement, in GBP, breaks down to a gross amount of £45,600 with an estimated contract period starting from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those that provide solutions for social media management. Companies that focus on integrated digital platforms capable of handling audit, compliance, and reporting tasks for government entities will find this tender appealing. The contract is suited for firms that can offer scalable solutions enabling efficient management across multiple social media platforms, with a keen eye on securing robust analytics and reporting functionalities. Businesses that can demonstrate a proven track record in establishing secure systems and providing value for money through centralised management are well-positioned to compete in this tendering process.

## Notice

Shropshire Council is considering its options to procure a secure, centralised and auditable way to manage social media activity at scale. An internal audit has identified risks associated with unmanaged direct platform access, unclear ownership, inconsistent branding and limited oversight, all of which can be mitigated through a single, role based system that controls access, records user activity and supports compliance with council policies and Terms of Use. We are seeking a management platform which enables efficient publishing, monitoring and moderation across multiple platforms, reduces reliance on individual staff logins, and supports rationalisation of dormant accounts to improve value for money. Crucially, it should also provide analytics and reporting that allows the Council to evidence performance, understand resident engagement and provide assurance to senior management.

### Planning Information

We wish to invite product demonstrations from interested suppliers over Microsoft Teams. Demonstrations will last no longer than 30 minutes including follow-up questions. Product demonstrations will take place on Thursday 23rd April 12.30pm – 1.30pm and 3.30pm – 5.00pm. To reserve a slot please contact Dan Waters Dan.Waters@shropshire.gov.uk by no later than 4.00 pm on 21st April.
