My Department has a contract with Ruepoint for media monitoring and Media HQ for press release distribution service. The Department carried out a procurement process, specifying the requirement for both of these services. On the assessment of the tenders received, the Department selected the aforementioned companies as those best placed to meet the needs of the Department, as outlined in the procurement documentation. Officials in my Department will be conducting a new procurement process following the end of the existing contracts in the first quarter of 2026.
