Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Digital Family Hub" was initiated by West Berkshire Council, a regional authority located in Newbury, United Kingdom. This contract, completed under the Award stage as of 4th December 2025, falls within the services category with a focus on platform interconnectivity software development. The tender was aimed at creating a universal solution for family support services, integrating both virtual and physical access points across regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method was limited, executed without prior publication due to scope constraints, with the contract specifically awarded through G-cloud procurement frameworks. The contract was signed on 21st November 2025 with Beebot AI Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Manchester, valued at £199,200.

This tender opportunity presents significant growth potential for tech companies specialised in IT services, including consulting, software development, and platform solutions. Businesses that can offer innovative software development and IT services, especially those providing solutions for public sector family support initiatives, would be well-positioned for similar future procurement processes. Given the limited procurement method, companies trying to engage in public sector contracts could greatly benefit by aligning with digital transformation frameworks like G-cloud. Moreover, firms with regional presence across the UK and those accustomed to working with local councils may find themselves competitively positioned to compete for such tenders, leveraging their consultancy and software development expertise in the public domain.
