Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a chest X-ray artificial intelligence solution and radiology AI platform. The service includes integration with the Trust’s existing imaging systems and is intended to support clinical interpretation, improve workflow efficiency, and bring radiology AI applications together under one managed platform and support arrangement. The requirement centres on chest X-ray analysis, with a platform designed to accommodate further radiology AI applications. The work is for the Trust in Somerset, England, and aligns with its existing Philips PACS imaging environment. This is a specialist healthcare technology and systems-integration service, rather than a purchase of standalone imaging equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. Harrison-AI Medical UK Ltd was selected following supplier engagement and assessment of available capabilities. The Trust concluded that alternatives did not match the selected supplier’s combination of integration, platform functions and support for its longer-term radiology AI strategy. The award date was 14 October 2026. The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 27 October 2028, with one optional 12-month extension, to 27 October 2029. The awarded value is £194,580 excluding VAT (£233,496 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation centred on technical capability to integrate with the Trust’s environment, provide a common platform and support future radiology AI requirements.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in Somerset, this award signals demand for a joined-up radiology AI service, not simply a chest X-ray algorithm. A credible provider would need to demonstrate reliable integration with the Trust’s imaging systems, including its Philips PACS environment, and the ability to manage and support multiple AI applications through one platform. Evidence of clinical usefulness, workflow benefits and a support model suited to a healthcare setting would be relevant. The buyer also valued a platform able to scale to further radiology applications, including possible brain CT modules, and to support standardisation over time. Suppliers whose products operate in isolation, or whose integration and future expansion capabilities are limited, may be less well placed to meet this buyer’s stated requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Chest X-Ray Artificial Intelligence Solution and Radiology AI Platform

Notice Description

Provision of a chest X-ray AI solution and radiology AI platform, including integration with existing imaging systems, to support clinical interpretation, workflow efficiency and the consolidation of radiology AI applications under a single managed platform and support arrangement.

Procurement Information

The Trust engaged with a number of suppliers and reviewed available solution capabilities. Whilst alternative solutions could provide chest X-ray AI functionality, none demonstrated the same combination of integration capability, platform functionality and support for the Trust's future radiology AI strategy. The proposed supplier offers a single platform capable of supporting both current and future AI applications, including potential future brain CT and other radiology AI modules, through a common integration and support model. The solution also aligns with the Trust's existing Philips PACS environment and broader objective of consolidating radiology AI services through a single platform. The Trust therefore considers the supplier uniquely positioned to meet both the current requirement and anticipated future integration, standardisation and scalability requirements.
