The solution must enable: distribution of press releases; recording and management of media enquiries; archival access to previous public statements; monitoring, analysis, and reporting of media coverage; and hosting of the Council's media website for journalist access to press releases, statements, and imagery. The platform must support professional, timely, and auditable media engagement; maintain comprehensive records of all media interactions and public communications; provide analytics on media coverage and public perception; and serve as a critical business continuity tool during high-profile issues, emergencies, and periods of heightened media interest. Suppliers should demonstrate capability in user-friendly content management, secure data handling, analytics functionality, and reliable service delivery.
