(The format and content of the monitoring service can be agreed in detail at the start of the contract and be periodically reviewed. However, we would expect a complete parliamentary monitoring service to form the basis of the package). - additional information (on request from UTG) on Parliamentary and Whitehall matters relevant to the organisation; monthly research time into a political subject or area of interest to UTG. - access to an email (mail out) service to Members of Parliament. - access to an online database of Parliamentary, civil service and wider stakeholder contacts and a library of documents (for example, transcripts of debates or legislation). - ad hoc public affairs advice to UTG on how to engage with specific target stakeholders and their staff. - a consistent and long-term named lead contact, or contacts, with demonstrable experience and skills which enable them to fulfil the above tasks.
