Provision of a chest X-ray AI solution and radiology AI platform, including integration with existing imaging systems, to support clinical interpretation, workflow efficiency and the consolidation of radiology AI applications under a single managed platform and support arrangement.

Procurement Act 2023

Direct award The Trust engaged with a number of suppliers and reviewed available solution capabilities. Whilst alternative solutions could provide chest X-ray AI functionality, none demonstrated the same combination of integration capability, platform functionality and support for the Trust's future radiology AI strategy. The proposed supplier offers a single platform capable of supporting both current and future AI applications, including potential future brain CT and other radiology AI modules, through a common integration and support model. The solution also aligns with the Trust's existing Philips PACS environment and broader objective of consolidating radiology AI services through a single platform. The Trust therefore considers the supplier uniquely positioned to meet both the current requirement and anticipated future integration, standardisation and scalability requirements.
