## Summary

The Open University bought media monitoring services: a partner to monitor relevant channels and provide high-quality, reliable and comprehensive coverage. The work is classified as data collection and collation services. The buyer is The Open University, based in Milton Keynes, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was procured as a single lot, covering the media monitoring service as a whole.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to AIMEDIADATA LTD. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The Open University used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. The process had one lot, which is complete. The published award information gives no award date or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand at The Open University for a media monitoring partner able to deliver dependable, comprehensive coverage across relevant channels. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate effective monitoring and collection of media data, reliable service delivery, and the ability to cover the channels relevant to the University. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME. The contract is a focused, single-lot service rather than a multi-lot programme. Experience providing media monitoring and turning coverage into well-organised, usable data would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
