## Summary

Epping Forest District Council bought Beam Speak AI and Magic Notes software for its homelessness teams. The tools are intended to improve efficiency in the teams’ day-to-day work. The requirement is for specialist software and related business-intelligence software services, delivered in the Epping Forest district of Essex. This is a focused digital-workflow requirement for council homelessness services, rather than a general software supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to BEAM UP LTD, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026. Its value is £54,000 excluding VAT (£64,800 including VAT). The contract runs from 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2027, with a possible one-year extension, to a maximum end date of 21 October 2028. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was treated as a single lot; no separate award criteria are recorded.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide specialist AI-enabled software that supports the practical daily work of homelessness teams, including the Beam Speak AI and Magic Notes functions or equivalent tools. The selected supplier was an SME, and the work was bought directly below the competition threshold, indicating a relatively focused software requirement rather than a large multi-lot programme. Relevant strengths would include a usable fit with frontline council workflows, reliable implementation and support, and the ability to demonstrate how the tools improve staff efficiency. Suppliers should be prepared to explain the software’s specific value to homelessness services and deliver it for Epping Forest District Council.
