UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board procured an AI-powered clinical documentation tool for multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessments. The software ingests case evidence, records and transcribes MDT discussions, and drafts the clinician’s review of the Decision Support Tool (DST), exporting the result into the national NHS England Word template. It is a MHRA-registered Class I medical device. The procurement is for software and associated information systems, rather than general-purpose AI or standalone transcription. The delivery locations cover England’s North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West regions. NHS Somerset is the buyer; NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board provided procurement advice and managed the process.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Beam Up Ltd. The award was made on 21 September 2026, at a gross value of £399,000 (£332,500 excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with options for two further 12-month extensions, subject to internal approval and demonstrating value for money in the initial term; the maximum possible end date is 30 September 2030. This was a selective award under a framework, and the recorded competition status is non-competitive. There was one lot, covering the documentation tool. The award was for the software supply category. The procurement data does not set out award scoring criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows NHS Somerset’s demand for clinical AI software that supports MDT assessment and preparation of Decision Support Tool documentation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a functioning medical-device product with MHRA Class I registration, and demonstrate that it can ingest case evidence, reliably capture and transcribe MDT discussions, and produce a clinician-review draft in the NHS England Word template. Suppliers would need to understand clinical documentation workflows and deliver software suitable for use across NHS services in England. The award was made through a framework without recorded competition, so relevant framework access and the ability to supply and support a mature product are commercially important. This is a specialist clinical software requirement, not a general transcription or AI consultancy opportunity.
