Media Monitoring and Press Release Distribution System

HDR UK is seeking a comprehensive media monitoring and press release distribution platform to support its communications strategy and maximize research impact dissemination. The solution must monitor media coverage across broadcast, digital, print and paywalled sources (with separate quotes for UK and global coverage), provide automated alerts, manage journalist contacts for distribution, and generate detailed analytics and custom reports. The platform should support multiple user accounts (minimum four for HDR UK staff), keyword and sub-brand monitoring, broadcast clip access, and easy usability with dedicated training and support. Desirable features include two-year coverage storage, podcast and research journal monitoring, competitor analysis, multi-factor authentication, and Single Sign-On integration with Entra ID. This is an extension of a 12-month contract initially procured in 2024, now extended through 2029, reflecting the solution's critical role in HDR UK's communications operations.
