About

Durham County Council awarded a contract to Beam Up Ltd.

for a purpose-built AI tool for social workers within AHS & CYPS to automate documentation using natural language processing and machine learning.

It is a fully secure web-based system accessible on smartphones, laptops, tablets, and hybrid machines without specialist software.

The contract, valued at £187,000, was directly awarded via the G-Cloud 14 framework following Beam Up being identified as the sole provider in a search, retaining continuity with the current standard tool used by social workers in England.
