Summary of the contracting process

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB has initiated a direct award process for a community Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) service, which will provide timely assessments for patients with ENT conditions who would otherwise seek secondary care services. The contract, valued at approximately £225,383, is set to commence on 8th October 2024 and will continue until 30th September 2025. The procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Potential representations must be submitted by 7th October 2024, following the standstill period initiated with this notice. The services will be delivered in the UKG24 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in ENT or audiology services. Given the nature of the block contract, businesses that have existing infrastructure and expertise in providing healthcare services will be well-placed to benefit from this tender. The process favours existing service providers who are already demonstrating satisfactory performance under similar contracts, thus incentivising consistent quality service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises with a focus on healthcare could find this an excellent opportunity to sustain and grow their service offerings in the Staffordshire community.
