## Summary

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured ambient voice technology services. The requirement is classified as voice recognition software development services, covering the development and provision of technology that captures and processes spoken language. It is a services procurement for the Trust, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Liverpool. The selected supplier, Eastern Academic Health Science Network, is based in Cambridge and is an SME. This opportunity is relevant to businesses developing voice-recognition software, ambient voice technology or related digital services for public healthcare organisations. It may also suit specialist technology providers able to support an NHS trust with implementation and service delivery across a UK-wide operating environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Eastern Academic Health Science Network. The award is active and the award date was 11 August 2026. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £16,901.57 excluding VAT, or £20,281.88 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The selected supplier is responsible for the ambient voice technology services and voice recognition software development services associated with the awarded lot. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s below-threshold process; the published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or criteria.

This procurement provides a clear signal of demand from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for ambient voice technology and voice recognition software development. A competitor considering future work with this buyer would need a practical capability to develop, configure or support voice-recognition technology, together with the capacity to deliver a focused digital service for an NHS organisation. The award to an academic health science network that is classified as an SME shows that the requirement can be met by a specialist organisation rather than only a large technology integrator. Suppliers should therefore be able to present a credible technical solution, reliable delivery arrangements and relevant capability in healthcare-focused digital innovation.
