Airedale NHS Foundation Trust ("the Trust") is progressing its Securing the Future (StF) programme, a Wave 1 scheme under the national New Hospital Programme (NHP). This initiative represents a significant strategic opportunity to modernise the Trust's estate and transform clinical delivery models in line with the Hospital 2.0 design principles. As an early pathfinder site, the Trust is positioned to influence and contribute to the development of future hospital standards and digitally enabled care environments. As the programme moves into the next phase of design development, the Trust is undertaking structured early market engagement to explore how innovative digital technologies and integrated solutions can support the delivery of Hospital 2.0 objectives, notably the transition to single‑patient‑room models of care. The Trust is particularly interested in solutions that can address the following priority areas: * Enhancing staff-patient communication: enabling patients to communicate their needs effectively and enabling staff to manage and prioritise tasks efficiently and safely across single‑room environments. * Supporting staff coordination across enlarged ward footprints: facilitating real‑time collaboration, communication, and staff location to improve workflow efficiency across expanded clinical areas. * Strengthening patient and clinical safety: enabling continuous or event‑based monitoring, improving response times and reducing unnecessary alarms, while mitigating the risk of alarm fatigue. * Optimising patient flow and operational management: supporting end‑to‑end patient movement within the hospital and enabling effective coordination with community services to improve throughput and discharge efficiency. To support this engagement, the Trust will host a virtual market engagement event at 10:30am on 23 April 2026. This session will outline the Trust's objectives, provide further context regarding the StF programme, and describe the thematic areas where market insight is sought. The briefing will be delivered by the Securing the Future programme team. Kindly be advised that, owing to anticipated attendance numbers, participation may be restricted to a maximum of two representatives per organisation. Following the event, the Trust will invite participants to provide structured feedback to help inform its understanding of available technologies, market capability, potential operating models, and integration approaches. Information gathered will support the Trust's future strategic planning and may inform the development of any subsequent procurement approach. Details of how to submit feedback will be provided during the event. For the avoidance of doubt, this activity constitutes early market engagement only. It does not form part of any procurement process, does not commit the Trust to undertake a procurement exercise, and does not confer any advantage in relation to any future competition undertaken by the Trust under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023.

Background Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust is a national centre of excellence for child health, combining acute, mental health and community services with leading-edge paediatric specialisms. As a dedicated NHS children's Trust, Sheffield Children's delivers world-class care for some of the most complex and rare conditions in the country, while supporting children's everyday health needs across our region. Our specialist teams work at the cutting edge of paediatric care, from intensive care and cancer to orthopaedics, sleep, genetics and respiratory health, and our research partnerships extend our impact far beyond our catchment. With the National Centre for Child Health Technology, we are helping to shape the future of children's healthcare. We welcome collaboration with those who share our commitment to excellence, equity and innovation. The NHS Long Term Plan, for the first time, explicitly recognises the need for greater investment and focus on children and young people. It sets out an approach that highlights the importance of technology in the future NHS; emphasising the critical priorities that will support digital transformation and provide a step change in the way the NHS delivers care. The NCCHT will be a critical part of this transformation in Sheffield. The £24.2m purpose built, world leading, research and technology centre sited at the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park in Attercliffe will radically transform healthcare delivery in the future. The NCCHT will act as a beacon of excellence for the NHS in developing new healthcare technologies for children. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and modern facilities the building will be designed to provide the highest quality care for children and young people locally and nationally. Bringing together world leading experts from across academia, healthcare, industry and technology Sheffield Children's aims to be the cornerstone of world leading research and care development for children and young people. Housing cutting-edge researchers and equipment we hope to drive medical advancement and breakthroughs at pace. Collaboration spaces in the building will encourage partnerships between clinicians, researchers, academic institutions and innovators across the health technology sector - accelerating the creation of technology solutions for healthcare treatment and research. The centre is due to complete construction in June 2026. We are now looking for an Audio-Visual partner to design and install a range solutions into different parts of the National Centre for Child Health Technology. This specification covers four key areas: - The Testbed Centre - The Gait & Motion Lab - Meeting Rooms - Digital Signage The Testbed Centre The Testbed Centre will be on the second floor of the NCCHT, and provide a space for researchers and companies to test their products with children, families and clinicians in near-real world environments. The Centre has a range of settings simulating hospital and home environments - a two bedded paediatric hospital ward; three consultation rooms (fitted out as physical health outpatient consultation room; and 2x psychology/therapy consult rooms); a virtual home (fitted out as a kitchen; lounge; bedroom) and a flexible simulation space that can be subdivided into two rooms (with a partition sensor). A control room will act as the hub to manage camera feeds and direct scenarios. A large store room will allow for spaces to be set up differently depending on their needs - e.g. beds or cots, or to store equipment between users. Each setting could be used by different visiting users who will hire the use of the space on a sessional basis, with up to four scenarios being ran concurrently. Within the centre, one of the roles "Centre Operations Manager - Testbed & Events", will manage the equipment and provide support to users. The Gait & Motion Lab The Gait & Motion laboratory will be on the first floor of the NCCHT, and will be a high specification over ground laboratory for analysing and motion of children and young people. There will be a 21m 'run way' of which motion can be analysed with a range of cameras and sensors to capture data. There will be force plates set within the floor and two 3600 camera rigs at ceiling height capturing 3d models of how the child is walking. These will use both marker-based and marker-less technology. In addition to these camera systems, a more conventional camera system is to be procured which provides video clips of the child in motion. The lab can has a partition door and can be divided into the main lab and a mini lab, to be able to operate independently or as a combined single lab. Meeting Rooms There are a number of differently proportioned meeting rooms and spaces throughout the building that will require a modern AV system to allow for fully in person meetings and hybrid meetings. Digital Signage Large displays in public areas are to be utilised for a mixture of public messaging via the Trust's existing Digital Signage platform and Outpatient Patient Call platform. Two of these displays are external in the courtyard with the remainder internally.
