AVT Self Certified Registry for the use of AI-Enabled Ambient Scribing Products

Tender description

The National Commercial and Procurement Hub on behalf of NHS England are seeking to establish an AVT registry of suppliers for the use of AI-enabled ambient scribing products across all health and care settings, extending to both primary care (general practices) and acute hospital trusts (“AVT Registry”). The aim is to create and develop a safe and robust register with an accompanying resource and evidence library to better inform buying authorities so that they can ensure compliance with the guidance issued by NHS England. The register will enable Practices, commissioners of primary care services (eg Primary Care Networks and Integrated Care Boards and Systems on behalf of Practices) and other health organisations (“Buyers”) to review the documentation and ensure it meets the local requirements. The registry operationalises the requirements by offering a transparent, centralised platform where AVT suppliers can self-declare compliance. It is not a procurement mechanism, but a strategic enabler that: • Lists AVT solutions that have submitted evidence of self-certification with NHS standards • Supports procurement and pilot planning by surfacing vendor capabilities • Encourages transparency around safety, data handling, and performance • Enables monitoring and evaluation of real-world use and outcomes • Facilitates cross-system learning and reduces duplication across ICBs
