Description

This is a replacement of the existing NHS England endorsed FWA. NHS England is heavily invested in initiatives that improve patient outcomes and relieving pressure on hospitals. There is a growing need for Digital Dictation, Speech/Voice Recognition, Outsourced Transcription, and associated services in the NHS. These technologies offer significant benefits in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and reducing administrative burdens, which are crucial for an organization facing high demand and striving for digital transformation. The ongoing development of AI and cloud-based solutions will likely further enhance the capabilities and adoption of these services within the NHS. There will be continuous need for the service as Contracting Authorities are aligning with the NHSE initiative to push for digital tools, including transcription services, to help manage the high volume of documentation efficiently. The market is dynamic and there will be need for Contracting Authorities and service providers to align with the changing regulations. For the past 4 (four) years 14 Trusts procured the services captured under the proposed FWA amounted to £9,575,319.00. £2,235,563.00 from 8 Trusts went through the FWA which is 23% of the total spend. There is a big opportunity to channel this entire spend through NHSCS FWA which secures compliance as well as value for money solutions. The framework will be divided into 6 lots, as follows: Lot 1: Products and/or Services Catalogue Lot 2: Digital Dictation service solution with AI Technology Lot 3 Digital Dictation service solution without AI Technology Lot 4: Outsourced transcription service solution with AI Technology Lot 5 Outsourced transcription service solution without AI Technology Lot 6: Managed service solution The beneficiaries of the services are NHS Patients receiving Healthcare Services, service users or Citizens within a Local or Central Government organisation within the wider Public Sector Organisations.

DDAI/010 Digital Decision Accelerators for Defence (DDAD) Open Framework

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is intending to launch a procurement for a new Defence and Security Open Framework specially designed to encourage the development, and accelerants of, advanced digital 'Decision' capabilities. An Open Framework is defined as a scheme of successive frameworks that allows for the periodic reopening of supplier lists under substantially the same terms. This contrasts with traditional ‘closed’ frameworks where after a single competition process suppliers are ‘locked’ in or out of a framework for its full duration. This Open Framework will operate as the main delivery mechanism for ASGARD; the British Army's flagship Transformative Capability Initiative (TCI). This project will deliver a central part of the Chief of General Staff's (CGS) Growth Through Transformation (GTT) strategy. This Open Framework will focus on the 'Decide' element of the target acquisition cycle (Sense-Decide-Effect); supporting ASGARD’s goal of reinventing, and transforming, how land forces deliver operational decision-support and decision-making software via the use of modern Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) technologies. More information, including the final scope of this framework, will become available in the future publishing of the Tender Notice and associated Tender Documents (anticipated in Q3 of 2025). Over four (4) core years (with options to extend), the estimated value of this framework is estimated to be £180,000,000.00. This figure is purely indicative and is not a comittment to spend, and is subject to amendment prior to the publishing of the Tender Notice and associated Tender Documentation. The MOD has duly considered the use of lots in this framework and has provided the details of proposed lots below. These lots, and the procurement process, will be suitable for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to bid for. Suppliers will be able to bid against multiple lots and, if successful, be awarded onto multiple. Please be aware that the MOD will not be providing additional time for Suppliers bidding onto multiple lots during the tender process. Supplier Feedback on Lots: Suppliers are invited to provide voluntary feedback on the lot names, number of places, and descriptions for the MODs consideration. If a Supplier is interested in providing feedback, they must do so by the 13th June 2025, at 17:00. Feedback must be limited to the lots and must be submitted via the MS Form provided, in Section 2 and Section 3 (LINK HAS NOW EXPIRED). Please note that the MOD reserves the right to consider feedback and to alter, amend, or remove lots entirely on that basis. The final lots will be made clear in the Tender Notice and associated Tender Documents. Supplier Invitation to Bidders Conference: The MOD is planning to hold a virtual Bidders Conference for prospective Suppliers to attend (no commitment to bid required to attend). A date has not yet been confirmed for this event; however, the MOD will endeavour to provide as much notice as possible and in any event more than two (2) weeks. To promote principles of equal treatment and transparency, this session will be recorded and can made available to Suppliers who request it or are unable to attend. The Bidders Conference will include a brief introduction from the Project Team and a run through of the process from the Commercial Team. The intention of this session is three-fold, namely: (1) to explain how Suppliers, especially Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), can get involved in this opportunity, (2) to promote a common understanding of the program’s goals, and (3) to set the behaviours that MOD and Suppliers can expect from each other. While a date is not confirmed for the Bidders Conference, should your organisation wish to attend please complete the MS Form, Section 1, so that the MOD may contact you once a date is confirmed (UPDATED LINK FOR NEW SUPPLIERS 16/06/2025: https://forms.office.com/e/0i7aVDDiwC).
