Medical software package

Tender description

NHS SBS is seeking to put in place a comprehensive framework agreement for the supply of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in neuroscience for stroke decision making support. Stroke is an often debilitating or fatal clinical event. However, if the stroke is analysed early and well using medical imaging, it is possible for clinicians to significantly improve outcomes for patients. This saves lives and improves people’s quality of life. However, getting these treatment decisions wrong can lead to further strokes and disability for patients. Stroke is one of the most time critical conditions and may only be reliably diagnosed and treated following a brain scan; usually a CT scan or MRI scan. This framework aims to provide AI solutions that support the analysis of medical imaging for ischaemic or haemorrhagic strokes and to support clinicians diagnose and treat strokes faster and more reliably.

The NHS needs to work in the most efficient ways possible and maximise value for money in delivering its services through the purchases it makes for products and services. The framework aims to provide a simple, effective, efficient and compliant route to purchase/supply the range of Stroke AI products and services for both NHS Customers and suppliers through means of either direct call-off or further competition if required.
