1.
In November 2007 the Department of Education and Training awarded a tender for media monitoring services for one year, with four one-year options to extend the contract. The evaluation report for the tender process estimated the cost of media monitoring services at $175 000 over the five years.
2. The Department requires a media monitoring service to respond in a timely manner to issues raised in the community
3. Consistent with long standing policy, the Government Media Office provides media monitoring services to the Premier, Cabinet Ministers and their direct staff not departments or agencies.
