## About this tender

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust are seeking to engage with suppliers interested in its upcoming requirement for a Trust-wide Digital Dictation & Speech Recognition Solution.

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB), which manages and operates Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Solihull Hospital, Good Hope Hospital and Birmingham Chest Clinic, is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in England, serving a regional, national and international population. The Trust is a regional centre for cancer, trauma, renal dialysis, burns and plastics, HIV and AIDS, as well as respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis. It has expertise in premature baby care, bone marrow transplants and thoracic surgery and provides the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe. It provides a series of highly specialist cardiac, liver and neurosurgery services to patients from across the UK.

UHB has a requirement to procure a Trust-wide Digital Dictation & Speech Recognition Solution. The solution should include:

A full letters workflow application, from dictation through to distribution

The ability for in-house transcription through administrative teams

The ability for letters to be outsourced for transcription to existing supplier

The ability for speech recognition to be used within the letters workflow application

The ability for speech recognition to be used in other applications, e.g. PICS

Integration with the Trust's core EHR applications to allow for speech recognition to be used for contemporaneous noting

Compatible with hardware already in use within the Trust (Philips, Olympus)

Android and iOS mobile compatibility in line with the Trust's chosen devices

### Compatible with Trust remote working solutions (VPN)

UHB wishes to achieve numerous benefits across a broad range of functionality. However, the priorities lie in reducing letter turnaround times, reducing clinician time during administrative tasks and improving the patient experience via quicker communication.

The solution should address the requirements described in Annex 1 Feedback on Requirements.

Suppliers who are able to offer solutions relevant to this requirement are invited to express an interest and respond to a market engagement questionnaire. Further details on how to do this are contained within the additional information section of this notice.

This exercise is intended to provide potential bidders with the opportunity to review the Authority's Briefing Document and to provide information regarding the services they can offer that could meet these outline requirements. This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner.

Additional information:

Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the online form on the Bravo Portal by 13:00 on 10th October 2022
