Magic Notes Implementation 2026
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Bristol City Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Magic Notes Implementation 2026" project. This initiative, falling under the health and social work services category, sought to implement an online transcription tool to assist staff with diverse communication needs. The direct award contract, valued at £150,000, was awarded to Beam Up to enhance staff capability across the South West region of the United Kingdom.
The tender process was completed on 22 December 2025, with the contract period set to begin on 12 January 2026 and conclude on 11 January 2027. This procurement represents an opportunity for businesses involved in project management software or transcription services to explore similar projects for potential growth. SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly well-placed to capitalise on such opportunities, given the emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility in the service provided.
Engaging in such contracts can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and contribute to building strong partnerships with public sector entities like Bristol City Council.
Magic Notes is an online transcription tool that records conversations and produces written notes. We are buying this service to support our diverse workforce, including staff with different communication needs, learning styles needs, and levels of confidence with written documentation. The tool will help practitioners capture conversations in a clear and accurate way, support those who find typing or writing challenging, and provide a more inclusive way for staff to record their work.
