What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Media and Regional teams at the LGA are seeking to align contracts for media monitoring services, to bring both teams use of these services under one contract. Furthermore, the Media team seeks to add journalist data base services on a platform which also allows the sending out of press releases and statements to them under one contract. The LGA seeks to do this in order to cut down on administration time and costs.
