Description
The Open Framework is intended to serve as a strategic vehicle for the efficient, legally compliant, and scalable procurement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies across the NHS and the wider Public Sector. This initiative recognises the transformative potential of AI in addressing current and emerging healthcare challenges, from improving diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making to streamlining operational processes. Through this Open Framework, Approved Organisations will be able to access cutting-edge AI solutions that are safe, interoperable, and tailored to meet local and national health priorities. The ultimate aim is to support the delivery of improved health outcomes for patients, empower healthcare professionals with advanced tools, and accelerate progress in medical research and innovation. At the same time, the Open Framework seeks to drive greater value for money, reduce duplication in procurement efforts, and enable consistent standards for implementation, governance, and digital maturity across the system.
