This tender falls under the services category and involves an open procurement method, specifically an open procedure below the threshold. The tender period concluded on 17th August 2020, with the contract awarded on 4th September 2020, valued at £180,000, intended to support NHS trusts and clinicians until the end of December 2020. This opportunity represents significant growth potential for businesses involved in healthcare technology, particularly those specialising in video conferencing solutions and consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aims to foster innovation and expand the supplier market for healthcare video consulting platforms. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in video consultation technology or management consultancy will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. ## Notice We are seeking to understand and contribute to the development of the future requirements of NHS trusts, clinicians and patients who use video consultation technology to deliver/receive care. In particular we want to better understand what has worked to date and what needs to be considered going forward to better support care transformation for the benefit of patients. We also want to develop a clear overview of the supplier market for healthcare video consulting platforms so that we can help trusts identify the technology options that meet the needs of their patients and clinicians beyond March 2021. As part of this commission, we also require support to actively engage with the market for healthcare video consultation platforms to ensure they are informed of our policy direction and the requirements of the sector.
