## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council bought Magic Notes, an AI-powered recording and documentation tool for its Justice Services and a support tool for managers in Children and Families Social Work. The stated purpose is to support the council’s strategic commitment to service improvement and digital transformation. This is a software package and information systems procurement. The council is based in Motherwell, and the requirement is for use within its Justice Services and Children and Families Social Work functions. The selected supplier, Beam Up Ltd, is based in London.

The procurement has been awarded to Beam Up Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The council used a direct award to a single supplier without competition; the process recorded one bid. The award value is £60,000. The procurement data gives no award date or contract period, so the timing and duration of the engagement cannot be established from the stated terms. The requirement was treated as goods and concerned the supply of Magic Notes for recording, documentation and management support in council services. No lot structure or evaluation criteria are stated.

This award is evidence that North Lanarkshire Council buys AI software to support recording and documentation in Justice Services and the work of Children and Families Social Work managers. Suppliers considering similar requirements for this buyer would need to show that their tool can provide AI-powered recording and documentation and serve both service contexts, including managers’ support needs. The stated purpose also points to a fit with service improvement and digital transformation. The award was made directly to one supplier without competition, so this purchase does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or reveal the capabilities that distinguished the selected provider. For a future requirement, a credible supplier would need a product suited to these council functions and a clear account of how it supports the council’s stated operational aims.
