Summary of the contracting process

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has procured CXR AI software, categorised as software packages and information systems. The requirement supports diagnostic activity involving chest X-ray imaging and is being delivered for the Trust in the North East of England. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust, based in Peterlee. The selected supplier is Harrison AI Medical UK Ltd, a UK-based SME specialising in the provision of the required medical AI software. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying a software solution rather than consultancy, construction, general IT support or clinical staffing. Businesses operating in medical imaging technology, artificial intelligence for diagnostics, healthcare software and related information systems would be the closest competitors for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust selected Harrison AI Medical UK Ltd on 7 August 2026. The award value is £132,608.16. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028, for 24 months, with an optional further 12-month extension. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain Digital Diagnostic Solution framework, reference 2025/S 000-043444, using URN DDS2026-0191. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Harrison AI Medical UK Ltd is the awarded supplier.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from an NHS Foundation Trust for specialist AI software supporting chest X-ray diagnostics. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a deployable healthcare software product, relevant medical imaging and artificial intelligence capability, and the ability to supply and support an NHS customer through an established framework route. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that scale alone was not the defining profile of the provider. Businesses should therefore be able to evidence a focused diagnostic software offering, reliable information-systems delivery and an understanding of NHS operational requirements. The relevant opportunity is tightly aligned to medical imaging AI rather than general software supply.
