## Summary

Halton Borough Council has procured Beam Notes, an AI-powered software platform for public sector organisations. It is intended to help frontline staff reduce administrative work by automating transcription, report generation and the extraction of data from documents and conversations. The procurement is for software rather than a bespoke service or physical equipment, with delivery to the Widnes area. The requirement centres on a digital tool that can support frontline teams in handling written and spoken information more efficiently. It was arranged as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, making this a framework-based software purchase rather than a general open competition for a new platform.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Beam Up Ltd. Halton Borough Council made a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, without a prior call for competition. The stated award basis was price. The process had one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award is recorded as active; the published outcome therefore identifies Beam Up Ltd as the selected supplier despite the lot status. The contract value is £130,625. It was signed on 28 August 2026. The release gives no contract end date or duration, so the period of the agreement cannot be established from these details. One bid was recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Halton Borough Council for an AI-enabled platform that helps frontline public-sector staff automate transcription, report writing and extraction of information from documents and conversations. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to offer a ready-to-use software product that handles these administrative tasks and fits frontline working environments, rather than a general-purpose IT service. The route used here was a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, with price as the stated award criterion, so suppliers would need relevant framework access and a commercially competitive offer. Beam Up Ltd, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller supplier was able to meet the requirement. The evidence points to a focused software purchase for council staff, not a broad transformation or consultancy programme.
