What is being bought

Published requirement description

Direct Award

To receive tailored updates on the activity from the Government and Parliament.

Research into other suppliers show that other suppliers are unable to offer the level of tailoring of political updates which Kew requires for its broad reaching yet specific interests. Research indicates that Navigate Politics is the only political monitoring software available from research which provides adequately tailored monitoring to make it useful and that uses humans and not AI to provide the updates.
