The Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for an AI Conversational Chatbot, focusing on e-triage applications. Classified under IT services including consulting, software development, internet, and support (CPV code: 72000000), this contract is valued at £133,500 and spans from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2028. Conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, the award stage was finalised on 3rd June 2025. The chatbot is to be delivered in Lincoln, United Kingdom.
