Detailed_Description : Request for Bids for the provision of Canada and United States media monitoring and managed reporting services for Destination Ontario.Destination Ontario is seeking a qualified vendor to provide a fully managed media monitoring service covering English and French media across Canada and the United States. The successful vendor will be responsible for tracking Ontario‑related earned media coverage across print, digital, and broadcast channels, and for delivering curated reporting outputs for both consumer travel and corporate communications needs.Optional, project‑based services may include enhanced metrics and best‑practice recommendations, additional media analysis and reporting related to specific campaigns or issues, and other related services requested during the term.
Scope of Work : This contract requires a managed service to measure media relations performance in Canada and the United States, monitor Destination Ontario-s reputation, and track tourism and industry-related issues. The Vendor will provide comprehensive English and French media monitoring across print, digital, and broadcast channels, including native coverage of French‑Canadian media without the need for a separate platform or additional fees.Core services include monthly reporting of earned media using Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE) and Reach, delivered in Excel format. For print and digital coverage, AVE and Reach will be calculated per article or mention; native social media listening is excluded, though reporting will track how earned news articles are shared across social platforms (social amplification). Broadcast coverage will be measured using AVE per minute and total Reach.The Vendor will supply direct access to coverage outputs, including links to online articles, PDFs or readable formats for print articles behind paywalls, and broadcast summaries with video clips. Services also include access to up‑to‑date, searchable media lists categorized by sector, media type, and geography, with functionality for users to create and manage custom lists. Additional support includes on‑demand monitoring of specific broadcast stations and programs, daily media scans of the tourism industry, and a daily editable roundup of key travel media coverage in Canada and the US.Optional deliverables may be requested by Destination Ontario on a project basis, subject to written estimates and prior written approval, and may be modified or discontinued at Destination Ontario-s discretion.
