    "description": "University Hospitals Birmingham is issuing this Pre Market Engagement (PME) to engage with the market regarding the procurement of a comprehensive Electronic Consent (eConsent) System. The purpose of this exercise is to identify capable suppliers and gather detailed feedback on current market functionality. This will inform our final specification and procurement strategy. This is not a formal call for competition, but a preliminary market consultation. Clinicians at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) currently use a paper-based form for taking consent from patients prior to examination or treatment. The form is then placed in paper notes where they are still in use or uploaded to the electronic paper record (EPR) where this is available. There are around 100,000 procedures undertaken at UHB each year. The proposed solution must digitise the clinical consent process, ensuring it is secure, legally compliant, and user-friendly for both clinicians and patients.",
