Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council procured an intelligent automation platform and front-facing digital portal for its Best Start in Life Family Hubs. This is a digital software and information-systems requirement, focused on providing a public-facing online service for families using the hubs. The listed delivery location is Bracknell, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Beebot AI Ltd. The award was made on 24 September 2026, with a contract value of £313,896. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The procurement was awarded through Lot 2 of the G-Cloud 14 framework. The recorded tender response deadline was 27 August 2026. No evaluation basis or separate selection requirements are stated in the process information.

This award shows that Bracknell Forest Borough Council has bought an intelligent automation platform with a front-facing digital portal for its Family Hubs. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and deliver both the automation platform and a usable public-facing portal in a family-hub context. The award went to an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to larger suppliers. Relevant digital product and implementation capability would therefore be central to competing when this specific requirement next returns to market.
