This is a large award for Software & IT Systems — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 30,286 valued Software & IT Systems tenders in our corpus.

The brief

The purpose of this contract is to deliver digital dictation service led via speech recognition software and ensure correspondence / records are produced in a more efficient manner.

Currently there are two systems being used throughout the organisation and this contract award is to replace a current speech recognition contract only.

Within the trust services mainly dictate correspondence or meetings and recently there has been an increased demand for voice recognition led software to offer real-time transcription for prompt completion of transcription.

Currently clinicians are able to speak into a headset and immediately see the information dictated captured in text format directly into the required templates.

KCHFT are looking to procure a solution which meets this demand via the NHS SBS Framework for Digital Dictation, Speech Recognition & Outsourced Transcription.

Under the framework Criteria KCHFT is inviting all eligible suppliers to provide an ITQ response with pricing to meet the specification which includes the localised demand requirements.
