## Summary

The Airedale NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning stage of a tender titled "NHP Digital Innovation Healthcare Solutions for Airedale NHS Foundation Trust - New Hospital Programme". This initiative, part of the national New Hospital Programme, aims to modernise the Trust's estate and improve clinical delivery models with digital technology. Located in Keighley, West Yorkshire, the Trust is initiating market engagement on 23 April 2026, with registration due by 22 April 2026. The programme seeks innovative solutions within the healthcare sector, focusing on digital integration for improved patient care and operational management. The contracting entity is AGH Solutions Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, handling procurement logistics.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare technology, digital communication systems, patient monitoring, and hospital infrastructure to engage with and contribute to substantial advancements in NHS hospital environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, reflecting the Trust’s interest in diverse organisational input. Businesses providing services related to hospital beds, patient monitoring systems, software development, communications control systems, and healthcare IT services will find this opportunity particularly well-suited. This engagement does not initiate a formal procurement process, but it offers participants the chance to influence the Trust’s strategic planning and future procurement strategies, facilitating business growth within the healthcare industry.

## Notice

Airedale NHS Foundation Trust ("the Trust") is progressing its Securing the Future (StF) programme, a Wave 1 scheme under the national New Hospital Programme (NHP). This initiative represents a significant strategic opportunity to modernise the Trust's estate and transform clinical delivery models in line with the Hospital 2.0 design principles. As an early pathfinder site, the Trust is positioned to influence and contribute to the development of future hospital standards and digitally enabled care environments. As the programme moves into the next phase of design development, the Trust is undertaking structured early market engagement to explore how innovative digital technologies and integrated solutions can support the delivery of Hospital 2.0 objectives, notably the transition to single-patient-room models of care. The Trust is particularly interested in solutions that can address the following priority areas: * Enhancing staff-patient communication: enabling patients to communicate their needs effectively and enabling staff to manage and prioritise tasks efficiently and safely across single-room environments. * Supporting staff coordination across enlarged ward footprints: facilitating real-time collaboration, communication, and staff location to improve workflow efficiency across expanded clinical areas. * Strengthening patient and clinical safety: enabling continuous or event-based monitoring, improving response times and reducing unnecessary alarms, while mitigating the risk of alarm fatigue. * Optimising patient flow and operational management: supporting end-to-end patient movement within the hospital and enabling effective coordination with community services to improve throughput and discharge efficiency. To support this engagement, the Trust will host a virtual market engagement event at 10:30am on 23 April 2026. This session will outline the Trust's objectives, provide further context regarding the StF programme, and describe the thematic areas where market insight is sought. The briefing will be delivered by the Securing the Future programme team. Kindly be advised that, owing to anticipated attendance numbers, participation may be restricted to a maximum of two representatives per organisation. Following the event, the Trust will invite participants to provide structured feedback to help inform its understanding of available technologies, market capability, potential operating models, and integration approaches. Information gathered will support the Trust's future strategic planning and may inform the development of any subsequent procurement approach. Details of how to submit feedback will be provided during the event. For the avoidance of doubt, this activity constitutes early market engagement only. It does not form part of any procurement process, does not commit the Trust to undertake a procurement exercise, and does not confer any advantage in relation to any future competition undertaken by the Trust under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023.
