Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council procured the supply and delivery of AI voice transcription services for use in South Ayrshire. The requirement was for a single lot of services, covering the provision and delivery of voice transcription using artificial intelligence. The council is based in Ayr, and the service delivery area is South Ayrshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Beam Up Ltd. It was run as a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, using CCS G-Cloud 14. The requirement was handled as one lot. The contract is active and was signed on 24 September 2026, at a value of £96,900. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically.

This award confirms demand from South Ayrshire Council for AI voice transcription services at a modest, single-contract scale. Beam Up Ltd, an SME, was selected through the G-Cloud 14 route, and the process attracted one bid. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need to provide AI-powered voice transcription and be able to supply and deliver the service to the council. The award provides evidence of a market opportunity for providers whose offer fits this specific service need.
