Artificial Intelligence (AI) buyer's guide assessment template

This assessment template is designed to be used together with the NHS AI Lab’s Buyer’s Guide to AI in Health and Care. The guide sets out the important questions you need to consider make well-informed buying decisions about off-the-shelf AI products. The sections of this assessment template align exactly to the order of questions in the guide. Explanation of and guidance on the questions set out in this template are offered in the guide.

The template offers a standardised structure for organisations or systems to set out their best answers to the questions posed in the guide. A completed template would serve as a detailed brief on a specific product, for key decision-makers to consider. Different people from across your organisation or system will need to input on different questions; the numbering and sub-numbering in the template should simplify the coordination exercise required.

Please get in touch with us at the AI Lab if your organisation has procured, or decides to procure, an AI product. We are collecting these details so that the Lab can be a central point for sharing use cases, successes and challenges. Please also get in touch about your experience of using the guide and this template.
