Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council, through North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership, procured a cloud-based Care at Home Management System for community care services. The system is intended to plan and schedule care, monitor delivery, and provide evidence of services for older people and adults. The requirement is for cloud software and includes a social work administrative write-up function, reflected in the procurement title “Magic Notes – Social Work Administrative Write up Tool”. This is a public-sector social care technology service delivered for North Ayrshire’s older people and adult services, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The relevant service classification is CPV 72260000, covering software-related services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Beam Up Ltd. The award date was 17 June 2026, when the contract was signed, and the awarded contract value is £166,250. The contract runs from 20 June 2026 to 19 June 2028. Although the procurement record identifies an open procedure, the requirement was completed by direct award under the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework, Lot 2: Cloud Software. There was one bid, which was submitted electronically by an SME. The contract is active and covers one lot. The award was made to Beam Up Ltd for the full Care at Home Management System requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from North Ayrshire’s health and social care services for cloud software supporting the full operational cycle of community care: planning, scheduling, monitoring and evidencing delivery. Suppliers considering similar future requirements would need a credible care-management or social-care technology platform, with practical functionality for older people’s services and adult services, alongside tools for social work administration and written records. Experience of delivering secure, dependable cloud software to public-sector or care organisations would strengthen credibility. The route used also matters commercially: the buyer selected a supplier through the G-Cloud 14 Cloud Software framework, so relevant framework availability and the ability to present a clear, suitable cloud-software offer would be important.
