What the notice says
NELFT provides a range of specialist community paediatric services requiring high-volume clinical transcription support.
The primary service requirement relates to transcription of clinical correspondence and reports generated within community paediatrics.
In addition, there is a requirement within the Trust's Research & Development (R&D) function for transcription of more complex audio recordings, which may include multi-disciplinary discussions and multi-speaker recordings.
The Trust is seeking to better understand how suppliers can support:
• High-quality transcription at scale
• Efficient turnaround times
• Secure handling of sensitive patient data
• Future innovation and service transformation
