Job Summary:

We’re hiring a freelancer or small team to build a production-grade Microsoft Teams chatbot that acts as a smart virtual assistant for employees in the gas, water, and electricity sectors.

• Package as a Microsoft Teams app with manifest, bot registration, and proper permissions
• Use Adaptive Cards or structured UI for response formatting (links, definitions, etc.)
• Host on Azure Bot Service, deployed and production-ready
• Implement basic usage logging + error handling



Must-Have Experience:
• Microsoft Teams app/bot development
• Azure Bot Service deployment
• OpenAI or LLM-based chatbot builds
• Strong communication and reliable delivery history



Bonus (Not Required, But Valuable):
• Familiarity with QnA Maker / Azure AI Search
• Experience with domain-specific bots (utilities, compliance, etc.)
• Admin interface for KB editing or usage analytics



Budget:

£6,000 – £10,000 fixed-price based on capability and scope
Milestone payments tied to delivery



Timeline:
• Start within 7 days of hire
• Fully functional MVP due in 4 weeks
• Final deployment & polish in 6 weeks



To Apply:
• Share specific examples of Teams bots or OpenAI chatbots you’ve built
• Confirm you’re able to deliver within the 6-week window
• Outline your proposed tech stack, delivery plan, and key dependencies
• Ask 2–3 questions to show you understand the challenge
