Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has completed the procurement process for the "CP2707-25 Note Taking Tool," a service sector project categorized under software package and information systems. The procurement is aimed at implementing an AI product, Magic Notes, designed to aid in minuting hybrid and face-to-face meetings, particularly those involving complex language. The procurement, valued at £30,000, is contracted to Beam Up, a supplier classified as an SME. The procurement method used was a non-standard approach, with the tender process concluding on 6th October 2025, and the contract taking effect from 10th November 2025 until 9th February 2026. The services are to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement represents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses developing AI-driven solutions or those working within the software package and information systems sector. SMEs and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as indicated by the procurement’s suitability criteria. Winning this type of contract can help businesses increase their portfolio and establish themselves as key players within the public sector by demonstrating their capability to innovate in meeting the unique challenges of governmental departments.

Notice Title

CP2707-25 Note Taking Tool

Notice Description

Children's Leadership Team want to run a pilot of an AI product called Magic Notes. The product could be used for minuting hybrid meetings and some face-to-face activities. In that context it's similar to CoPilot's capabilities but is designed more for meetings where challenging language is more regularly used (CoPilot currently strips out too much of such language).
