## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services Ltd (NHS SBS) has completed a procurement process for the provision of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in Neuroscience aimed at supporting stroke decision-making. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on imaging equipment for medical use. The procurement method used was a selective procedure, and the award for this tender was made on 23rd July 2021, with the contract period starting from 18th February 2022 and set to end on 17th February 2026. The associated tender had a closing date on 4th November 2020 and is located in England, catering to a range of delivery addresses that include British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the UK.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in medical software and imaging technologies, especially those involved in developing AI solutions geared towards healthcare. With a contract value of £15 million, suppliers that cater to the nuances of medical imaging and decision support systems would be ideal candidates for participation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand in the healthcare sector may find this framework especially suitable, given the emphasis on innovative technologies that can enhance clinician decision-making in time-sensitive situations such as strokes.

## Notice

NHS SBS is seeking to put in place a comprehensive framework agreement for the supply of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in Neuroscience for Stroke Decision Making Support. Stroke is an often debilitating or fatal clinical event. However, if the stroke is analysed early and well using medical imaging, it is possible for clinicians to significantly improve outcomes for patients. This saves lives and improves people's quality of life. However, getting these treatment decisions wrong can lead to further strokes and disability for patients. Stroke is one of the most time critical conditions and may only be reliably diagnosed and treated following a brain scan; usually a CT scan or MRI scan. This framework aims to provide AI solutions that support the analysis of medical imaging for ischaemic or haemorrhagic strokes and to support clinicians diagnose and treat strokes faster and more reliably.
