## Summary

Great British Energy procured an enterprise-grade internal communications software platform for its internal communications teams. The requirement covers software and information systems, including unlimited administrator access, governance controls, advanced analytics and the ability to reach up to 20,000 employees. It also includes workflow automation, targeted communications, surveys, events and AI-powered email translation. The platform is to support email communications with Pro Tier entitlements and manual people-data uploads, together with implementation and onboarding services. The buyer is Great British Energy, a public authority based in Aberdeen. The awarded supplier is Poppulo, whose platform and services are the subject of this requirement.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Poppulo. Great British Energy used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2029. Its gross value is £82,930.34. The award covers one lot and one supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, as is the award. The requirement combines the communications platform with implementation and onboarding services, and the stated contract value covers the resulting arrangement.

This award indicates demand from Great British Energy for enterprise internal-communications technology rather than general office software. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform that can support large employee audiences, multiple administrators and strong governance, alongside advanced analytics and targeted communications. Relevant capability includes workflow automation, surveys, event communications and AI-assisted email translation. Suppliers would also need to provide practical implementation and onboarding, configure email-channel entitlements, and manage manual people-data uploads. The incumbent is an SME, showing that a specialist communications-software provider can serve this type of public-sector requirement. Experience combining software delivery with deployment support would strengthen a competing proposition.
