The contract, valued at £100,000 GBP, involves research and development services related to the classification of AI technologies for health technology evaluation. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract period is from July 5, 2021, to June 30, 2022. This award presents opportunities for businesses involved in research and development services, especially those focusing on AI technologies in healthcare settings. Companies with experience in developing risk-based approaches for AI technologies and methods for evaluating data-driven technologies would be well-suited to compete. The contract also emphasises the importance of clinical effectiveness and value in incorporating AI into health technology evaluation processes. ## Notice Overview Description for an Academic Collaboration on Artificial Intelligence NICE is looking for an academic partner (or joint bid, or consortium) to work on the delivery of an NHSx AI Lab commissioned project to develop NICE's Evidence Standards Framework for Digital Health Technologies to fully incorporate data driven technologies that incorporate artificial intelligence, including those that use adaptive algorithms. The Framework will describe an approach to the classification of AI technologies that triages technologies for health technology evaluation and will describe the levels and types of clinical evidence that should be available, or developed, for these technologies to demonstrate their clinical and economic value in the UK health and care system. This includes evidence of clinical effectiveness relevant to the intended use(s) of the technology. The standards framework will be used to support innovators and technology developers, including commercial organisations, of appropriate evidence-generation plans; research funders and investors who are considering funding the development of data driven technologies as well as evaluators and commissioners. To support this work NICE is looking for an academic partner with experience of developing: * risk-based approaches to the classification of technologies that incorporate artificial intelligence for use in health care settings * methods for the evaluation of data driven technologies (including those that incorporate artificial intelligence) in terms of their clinical effectiveness and value Full details in the attached documents ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1be1935c-2430-47f6-a1a4-f2585e42b175 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Sep 2022 | | Contract period | 4 Jul 2021 - 30 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £100,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | I C CONSULTANTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85140000 - Miscellaneous health services ## Release History - 14 Sep 2022 at 11:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1be1935c-2430-47f6-a1a4-f2585e42b175 - 5 May 2021 at 07:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77022e0a-c949-4b25-92f8-7770301b49df ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1be1935c-2430-47f6-a1a4-f2585e42b175 14th September 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77022e0a-c949-4b25-92f8-7770301b49df 5th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1fef6459-1fbb-4f41-a4d2-0214c34a3728 specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9168ccac-99c3-4b80-aef2-30e2b09b129c sample contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b136c210-8737-4bc3-931d-6a0e2761d776 Conflicts of interest - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ebf7f219-e9ab-4736-8a4a-c82550a22243 Form of Offer inc T&Cs - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/77d98074-b92f-4845-9bd7-7eb151aac0ea Redaction requests - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/04a93263-d3f0-449b-abec-dc793003faff technical background - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/acc5461f-ddd8-48ca-9196-fc11ecf4abe1 Redacted award contract. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/cc89ec6d-aeb9-42f8-8f27-603a04fea35c Redacted contract award ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
