Summary of the contracting process

Great British Energy - Nuclear procured a cloud-based legal AI platform for its Legal function. The service covers software licensing, implementation, onboarding, user training and ongoing support. Required capabilities include legal knowledge management, a document repository, legal research and contract review, with organisation-specific playbooks developed and maintained for the buyer. The platform integrates with Microsoft 365 applications, including SharePoint and Microsoft Word, to support document management, knowledge retrieval and contract review. The initial contracted volume is seven users, with the ability to add licences and enhanced support. This is a legal technology and software supply service, delivered for Great British Energy - Nuclear in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly, below the threshold and without competition, under a single lot. Wordsmith AI Ltd was selected on 27 August 2026. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an optional extension of up to 12 months, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2028. Its value is £29,316 excluding VAT, or £35,179.20 including VAT. The contract includes options for additional user licences and enhanced support, including dedicated account management, onboarding support and legal engineering services. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award indicates demand from Great British Energy - Nuclear for a focused legal technology platform rather than a broad IT system. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need a mature cloud service covering legal knowledge management, document storage, legal research and contract review, with configurable organisation-specific playbooks. Credibility would also depend on reliable integration with Microsoft SharePoint and Word, practical onboarding and training, and responsive support for a small legal user base. Providers should be able to offer scalable licensing and enhanced services such as account management, configuration, optimisation and legal engineering. Experience delivering secure, usable legal AI and demonstrating continuing value for money would strengthen a future proposition to this buyer.
