Notice Information

Notice Title

Artificial Intelligence Software for NHS Scotland Radiology Imaging - Dynamic Purchasing System

Notice Description

The development of Artificial Intelligence decision support systems presents the NHS in Scotland with a unique opportunity to improve service provision, particularly in Radiology. Recent advances have now brought these software systems to a point where they now represent a cost-effective way of increasing diagnostic accuracy, improving efficiency, and helping ease pressures on demand. Recent trialling of this software in the acute clinical setting has demonstrated the potential value of many of these systems across a variety of Radiology sub-specialities including stroke imaging, chest x-ray reporting and mammography, amongst others. In order to gain maximum benefit from these advances, the NHS must learn how to incorporate these systems into current everyday practice, while maintaining service agreements which give us the versatility to respond to what is a very exciting and rapidly evolving AI decision support system market. To support this ambition the Authority has set up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This notice allows suppliers not on the DPS to submit an application to get on it.
