Summary of the contracting process

The Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has recently concluded the procurement process for the NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP), classified under health services (CPV 85100000). This procurement, finalised in October 2024, pertains to services within the UK South East (UKJ). It involves providing newborn hearing screening services through the Automated Otoacoustic Emissions (AOAE) screen before discharge from maternity units. The procurement followed a limited method due to the specific nature of the requirement, concluding an award to Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, with the contract spanning from April 2024 to March 2027 and an option to extend up to twice by 12 months each time. Key decision-makers for this procurement included the contracts team and the directorate lead.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in digital health services, particularly in newborn screening technologies. Small to large-scale enterprises within the health services sector that can deliver efficient, high-quality screening services could benefit from such contracts. The procurement method, which skips prior publication of a competitive call, favoured a direct award process, aimed at rapidly securing specialised services. Companies capable of providing innovative health solutions with a niche focus on paediatric auditory screening would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
