This project falls within the research services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The award was completed recently, with the contract period set to run from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2024. The tender aimed to support AI developers in conducting real-world evaluations of technologies being deployed in NHS environments, with an award value of £538,469.18. The procurement method used was classified as "Other," indicating a non-standard approach for this initiative. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in AI technology and healthcare research, particularly those with expertise in efficacy evaluations and clinical service deployments. Companies capable of delivering innovative AI solutions and demonstrating their real-world impact may find this an ideal opportunity to collaborate with the NHS, facilitating growth and potentially leading to larger-scale deployments of their technologies within the healthcare sector. ## Notice AI Health and Care Award - Technology Specific Evaluation Teams (Brainomix Technology Specific Evaluation Team). Research opportunity originally advertised and awarded via NIHR. Background and aim of the research As part of the NHS AI Lab, Phase 4 of the Artificial Intelligence in Health and Care Award is seeking to support AI developers to undertake real world evaluations which can be used to support generation of evidence of efficacy and value for money, alongside evidence of how technologies might be deployed at scale in the NHS. This should inform subsequent reimbursement and procurement decisions and facilitate systems adoption. To help ensure the optimal design and delivery of evidence generation during the real world deployments, NHSX and the Accelerated Access Collaborative have commissioned a Technology-Specific Evaluation Team (the Contractor) to work with relevant NHS sites to evaluate each technology within routine clinical or operational pathways to determine efficacy, accuracy, as well as clinical and economic impact (among any other measures as determined appropriate). Some technologies may be deployed in 'shadow' form, e.g. in screening services, rather than prospectively depending on the nature of the AI. The evidence generated by the Contractor in this evaluation will be used to support a submission to National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) or the UK National Screening Committee to determine if the technology should be adopted at scale in the NHS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19cff8df-c8c4-48b0-9150-37bbd70e1079 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 22 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £538,469 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £538,469 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE (DHSC) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OXFORD UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 19 Apr 2021 at 10:18 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19cff8df-c8c4-48b0-9150-37bbd70e1079 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19cff8df-c8c4-48b0-9150-37bbd70e1079 19th April 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://atamis-1928.cloudforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/4J000000kPN1/Kd1HBWDQsYb9OC9R9aRx2NSz6r0PrbwpTFEeLSdFIMc NHSX AI Agreement with TSET_Brainomix_24032021_final Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
