Description
Hampshire County Council has been running a successful pilot scheme for Magic Notes across Adults and Childrens services. Based on the positive outcomes and user feedback, the Council now seeks to procure the service on a more permanent basis to support wider adoption and embed the efficiencies across teams. Hampshire County Council used Crown Commercial Service's G-Cloud 14 (Lot 2) to undertake this procurement. A desktop evaluation was completed, and an award was made.
