Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB is initiating a tender process for the procurement of adult hearing services, specifically targeting ENT or audiologist services. This tender falls under the healthcare services category, and the procurement is managed through a Direct Award C PSR process. The contract, valued at approximately £90,194 for the 2023/24 period, is set to commence on the 11th of October 2024, with the service provision lasting until the 30th of September 2025. The services will be provided in Stafford (UKG24 region), with the procurement method cited as limited, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of providing high-quality audiology services tailored to adult patients. Companies specialising in hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, and related aftercare would find this contract particularly beneficial. The continuation of existing services ensures stability and reduced demand on both primary and secondary care, making it an attractive proposition for businesses already operating within the healthcare sector. SMEs are encouraged to compete, as the procurement criteria are geared towards maintaining current service standards with a known provider.
