This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in video conferencing solutions and related software development services. Companies capable of providing innovative video consultation technologies are particularly encouraged to participate, as this project aims to inform future procurement strategies within the NHS. Engaging in this exercise could lead to significant opportunities for growth and collaboration with the NHS in upcoming procurement activities anticipated for the fiscal year 2021-22. ## Notice This is not a call for bids or an invitation to submit offers. We are undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise to establish solutions that are currently available in the marketplace for Secondary Care video consultation. This is part of a nationally led initiative to understand the products/solutions available on the market in a way that enables Trusts (and Systems) to compare products and improve buyer education ahead of potential upcoming local/system procurement exercises.
