As a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP), the River Thames Scheme (RTS) requires a development consent order (DCO) under the Planning Act 2008 and Environmental Statement. To protect the reputation of the scheme and demonstrate that we have listened to local communities we are looking to procure the provision of a press, online, social media and broadcast monitoring service that will measure the success of our comms activity, listen out for negative publicity and measure sentiment towards the scheme.
