What the notice says

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is undertaking market engagement to inform the potential future procurement of political monitoring services. This work seeks to identify services capable of supporting multiple specialist teams requiring timely and reliable monitoring of political, legislative, and policy developments across the UK, devolved administrations, European Union institutions, and relevant international stakeholders. Services may include core monitoring (e.g. daily alerts and summaries) alongside enhanced analytical support, such as access to analysts, bespoke briefings, and escalation of significant developments. Through this engagement, the ICO aims to: Understand the range of services available in the market; Explore how services are structured, delivered, and priced; Inform decisions on procurement approach, including potential lotting and delivery models. This activity does not commit the ICO to any subsequent procurement.
