This procurement falls under the video conferencing software category and is located in England. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement end date is set for 23 October 2020. The NHS Improvements is seeking to understand available products ahead of potential local procurement exercises, providing an opportunity for suppliers to showcase their solutions through a recommended market engagement questionnaire. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in video conferencing solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer innovative software packages and development services. Companies well-suited to compete in this tender include those that specialise in healthcare technology and digital communication tools. By participating, businesses can influence future procurement decisions and align their products with the needs of NHS trusts in delivering secondary care services. ## 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. We encourage providers and suppliers to engage in this work and have set out our intentions in this notice along with a Prior Information Notice published in OJEU. Please complete the market engagement questionnaire available via My Tenders and return not later than 23:59 on 23 October 2020 to nhsi.nationalvideoteam@nhs.net. A supplier briefing session will be held 11am on Friday 16th October 2020, to register for the briefing session and to ask questions and seek clarification outside of this session, please email nhsi.nationalvideoteam@nhs.net. Please note secondary care trusts are free to advertise procurements in line with their own policies and procedures. Depending on value and procurement route selected, these may not necessarily be advertised in OJEU or on UK Contracts Finder. NHS England and Improvement is not responsible for these procurement decisions and actions of providers.
