## Summary

The Care Quality Commission has recently completed a procurement process titled "Experts Systems", aimed at exploring the use of artificial intelligence in targeting inspection resources within the health and social care sectors. This procurement falls under the industry category of business analysis consultancy services, with an awarded contract valued at £22,600 GBP. The tender was initiated as a competitive quotation process and has successfully transitioned to the Award stage, with the award date set on 12th February 2018 and the contract period running from 26th February 2018 to 31st May 2018. The delivery locations for this contract include various territories such as the United Kingdom and its overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in artificial intelligence and business consultancy services. Companies capable of developing innovative expert systems that assist in data assessment and inspection decisions would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The ability to offer tailored solutions that enhance the efficiency of inspection processes within the care sector will be crucial for businesses looking to grow and establish long-term partnerships with the Care Quality Commission and similar organisations.

## Notice

CQC are keen to explore the use of artificial intelligence to help us in targeting inspection resources. We want to develop tools that help inspectors come to decisions about whether a particular aspect of care is of sufficient concern to trigger an inspection. We are particularly interested in an expert system approach, which would help our inspectors make an assessment of the existing data, then obtain and add data in proportion to any lack of certainty about quality or changes in quality. We need to develop exemplar systems, which give us the ability to work through the health and social care sectors.
