The work forms part of ECC's wider Pioneering AI programme, established to identify safe, ethical, and effective use of AI across the organisation. ECC has previously undertaken a proof of concept for this requirement that responded to significant pressures within Adult Social Care, including rising demand, workforce shortages, increasing case complexity, and a high administrative burden associated with recording case notes, which reduces time available for direct work with residents. Wider Roll Out Project: A pilot has been undertaken as part of ECC's AI Transcription and Summarisation Proof of Concept to test the use of AI tools in supporting Adult Social Care practice by transcribing and summarising practitioner conversations. At this point, ECC aims through potential future procurement and strategic decision making to scale this capability across Adult Social Care, selecting an appropriate mix of specialist tools and Microsoft capabilities, to deliver improved efficiency, consistent high quality case recording, and sustainable, compliant AI adoption at scale. The objective of this market engagement survey is to inform any future procurement process and assess if this market is viable, understanding whether AI tools and capabilities can reduce recording time, improve the quality and consistency of case notes, enhance practitioner and resident experience, and provide a clear evidence base and governance model for scaling AI safely and responsibly within high-risk statutory social care contexts. The following requirements are necessary: 1. Transcription Capability: The solution must support the accurate capture and transcription of conversations across a range of operational settings. This market engagement survey seeks to answer what transcription accuracy levels can be achieved; how the tool handles multiple speakers, overlapping conversations, accents, background noise, telephone calls and whether there is functionality for diverse language support. 2. AI summarisation Capability: The solution must generate structured summaries from conversations to support operational case recording and decision-making. This market engagement survey seeks to answer how summaries are generated; if summary outputs can be configured to align with service specific templates; how the tool would minimise/eliminate omissions of critical information and if outputs can be customised for different business processes and service areas. 3. Human oversight and quality assurance: The solution must support human review and validation of AI-generated outputs. This market engagement survey seeks to answer how users can review, edit and approve outputs; how the tool would support correction of errors; how changes can be applied across transcripts and summaries and the quality assura... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/case-notes-transcription-summarisation-tool-ocds-h6vhtk-06cb5e) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 48314000, 48517000, 48900000, 72222300 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/06/2027 to 01/06/2029 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F066461-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-07-14T16:03:21.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-21T06:06:30.024Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06cb5e
