## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured an ambient voice technology pilot: an AI scribing tool that uses conversations to produce clinical documentation, together with additional allied functionality. The requirement is for software supply services supporting the Trust’s healthcare operations. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, associated with the Trust’s Lincoln-based activity. The procurement followed an initial free-of-charge pilot and extends the use of ambient voice technology. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of AI-enabled clinical documentation, ambient voice systems, healthcare workflow software and related digital tools. The focus is a practical pilot service for an NHS teaching trust rather than general-purpose software supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Accurx Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. Evaluation and selection were conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers the extended pilot for the ambient voice technology and associated functionality. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is the buyer, and the selected supplier is a London-based SME.

This procurement demonstrates NHS demand for ambient voice technology that can support clinical scribing and related healthcare workflows. A credible future supplier would need a working AI-enabled voice solution, software supply capability and the ability to provide functionality beyond transcription where it supports clinical or operational use. Experience of deploying technology in an NHS or comparable healthcare environment would help demonstrate understanding of documentation, workflow and user needs. Suppliers should also be able to support a structured pilot, work with a teaching hospital and provide a dependable service for Trust users. Accurx Ltd’s selection shows that an SME can satisfy this type of requirement through a focused digital health offering.
