Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured an IT service for the BT component of the Artificial Intelligence Deployment Framework supporting the Eastern Diagnostic Imaging Network. The service covers integration, connectivity and operational delivery for artificial-intelligence-enabled diagnostic imaging solutions across the network. Its purpose is to improve access to imaging data, support clinical decision-making and enhance diagnostic service delivery. This is a specialist healthcare technology and diagnostic imaging systems integration requirement, classified under IT software packages (CPV 48517000). Delivery is associated with Bury St Edmunds and the East of England. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, serving NHS diagnostic services through the Eastern Diagnostic Imaging Network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 May 2024 to British Telecommunications Public Limited Company. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value was £37,000. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2024 at 12:00. The awarded contract period runs from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2028. The requirement was procured as a services contract, with the award covering the full described service. The stated contract value and period are the same as those recorded for the procurement. The award is active, and the contract is associated with delivery across the Eastern Diagnostic Imaging Network.

This outcome demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for a supplier able to provide dependable technology integration and connectivity for AI-enabled radiology across a diagnostic imaging network. A credible future competitor would need experience bringing imaging systems and artificial intelligence tools into operational clinical environments, maintaining connectivity between relevant platforms and supporting reliable access to imaging data. It would also need to understand the practical requirements of NHS diagnostic services, including how technology supports clinical decision-making and day-to-day service delivery. The requirement was fulfilled through a framework call-off and was awarded to a large telecommunications and technology supplier, indicating that framework access, substantial delivery capacity and the ability to support network-wide implementation would be important.
