Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board initiated a procurement process titled "Community Audiology Contract" under the CPV classification 85121240, which pertains to ENT or audiologist services. This procurement, aimed at providing hearing aids for age-related hearing loss, was set in London, specifically within the London Borough of Barnet (UKI71). Initially planned as a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), the tender process reached the award stage. However, on 18 March 2025, the procurement was abandoned following a review of a representation in accordance with Regulation 12(4)(d)(iii) of the relevant regulations.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the audiology and healthcare sectors, especially those with a focus on delivering innovative and high-quality hearing aid solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Audiological Science Limited, the initially awarded supplier, stood to benefit from such engagements. The rigorous evaluation criteria emphasised quality, innovation, value for money, collaboration within the local healthcare system, and social value. These criteria aim to promote businesses that can integrate into local healthcare ecosystems, reduce health inequalities, and deliver cost-effective services.
