Summary of the contracting process

DELT Shared Services Limited procured a one-year subscription to Magic Notes, an AI notetaker and meeting-report transcription service. The subscription includes a bundled allowance of 25,000 hours. The requirement is for software and information systems, supporting the recording, transcription and reporting of meetings. Delivery covers multiple regions across England. The buying organisation is DELT Shared Services Limited, a public authority based in Plymouth. The selected supplier, Beam Up Ltd, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to software providers offering AI meeting assistants, automated transcription, meeting reporting, or related information-management tools, particularly where the service can support substantial volumes of recorded meeting content across a public-sector organisation. The requirement concerns a subscription service rather than software development, hardware supply or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Beam Up Ltd. DELT Shared Services Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 October 2025 and runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, with an option to extend for a further year until 29 September 2027. Its value is £85,625 excluding VAT, or £102,750 including VAT. The award covers one lot and is recorded as active. The selected requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract provides a 12-month Magic Notes subscription with 25,000 bundled hours. No separate award date is recorded; the signing date is the procurement’s recorded contract milestone.

This award demonstrates demand from DELT Shared Services Limited for a high-volume AI meeting-notetaking and transcription subscription, with associated meeting-reporting capability. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need a mature software-as-a-service product that can handle a substantial annual volume of audio or meeting content reliably. Useful capabilities include automated transcription, AI-generated notes, structured meeting reports, search or information retrieval, secure user access and dependable service delivery for public-sector users. A credible provider should be able to demonstrate product performance, operational resilience, data handling and support arrangements at organisational scale. Small and medium-sized technology businesses may be well placed, as the incumbent supplier is an SME. Providers of adjacent collaboration, transcription or records-management software could assess whether their platforms can meet the same focused requirement.
