Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, seeking a Voice Technology Solution that includes Digital Dictation and Speech Recognition. This procurement falls under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems, with a focus on delivering goods. The process, completed as of 29th January 2026, involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to it falling outside the scope of the directive. The contract has been awarded to Norty Ltd, a supplier based in Dublin, Ireland, for an amount of GBP 207,256. The project is intended for delivery in the UKD7 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the software and information systems industry, particularly those specialising in voice technology solutions. Companies with expertise in digital dictation and speech recognition technologies would find opportunities to showcase their innovations. The limited procurement method suggests that businesses already holding frameworks with NHS or those positioned to offer unique solutions could have advantageous standing in future related opportunities. Small to medium enterprises like Norty Ltd will find competitive chances in such targeted procurements due to flexible adaptability and innovation capacity.
