PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION

What the notice says

This is a replacement of the existing NHS England endorsed Framework Agreement. There is a growing need for Digital Dictation, Speech/Voice Recognition, Outsourced Transcription, and associated services in the NHS. The Framework appoints a pool of qualified suppliers who are tested through a robust Public Sector Compliant procurement process. The Framework Agreement then allows a Contracting Authority to issue a call-off contract to suitable Supplier either via a Direct Award or a Mini-comp tender process demonstrating value for money procurement. NHS Commercial Solutions will provide a comprehensive support service to a Contracting Authority intending to make use of the Framework Agreement. This includes, but not limited to, a set of templated documents for running a tender, draft specification and evaluation criteria, guidance on Social values criteria and any guidance to the procurement process. The framework will be divided into 6 lots, as follows: Lot 1: Products and/or Services Catalogue Lot 2: Digital Dictation service solution with AI Technology Lot 3 Digital Dictation service solution without AI Technology Lot 4: Outsourced transcription service solution with AI Technology Lot 5 Outsourced transcription service solution without AI Technology Lot 6: Managed service solution
