Our current Media Monitoring Syndicated Agreement will expire on 15 June 2025 and won't be renewed. This also includes any service orders placed under this contract.

This contract is now closed to further syndication.

What's covered

Each provider covers one or all these areas:

• Print media
• Broadcast media
• Online media
• Social media
• Reporting, evaluation and analytical services.

What's not covered

• Software solutions which draw on key words from online media.
• The service needed to cover the full scope of media across the length and breadth of New Zealand within each category.

How it works

The panel gives participating agencies the flexibility to select based media on their specific requirements.

Participating agencies can select individual categories from any of the four different suppliers or all categories from one single supplier who offers an all-inclusive package.

Under the service agreement, agencies:

• have the ability to work with more than one provider
• can select providers to deliver on a single or multiple projects, or an ongoing project or long-term partnership arrangement
• can engage providers from any region - most providers have the ability to service all regions irrespective of their physical location
• do not need to engage providers across all their service offerings
• do not need to consider every provider on the panel.

Features and benefits

The media monitoring syndicated agreement offers government agencies:

• flexibility to use a number of providers based on the individual requirements of your agency

• standardised terms and conditions so no need to negotiate individually with every provider
• access to quality providers with a broad range of specialist services
• ease of process and engagement with providers through the media monitoring statement of work
• savings in both time and money. Due diligence has already been undertaken, so there is no need to undergo primary procurement processes on GETS or assess if providers are fit for purpose.
