Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded a contract for the "Adult Hearing Service across Cheshire and Merseyside," in the health services industry category. This one-year contract employs a Provider Selection Regime and started on 1st April 2025, running until 31st March 2026. The procurement process bypassed the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Directly awarded to Scrivens Ltd, the procurement method was limited, avoiding prior public competition calls. The provision covers adults registered with GPs in Cheshire and Merseyside areas such as Cheshire East, Cheshire West, and others, with a tariff-based payment system contingent upon service activity. The decision was officially approved on 20th May 2025 by the Finance, Investment and Resources Committee of the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB.

This contract underlines a significant business opportunity for Scrivens Ltd in providing comprehensive adult hearing assessment services in Cheshire and Merseyside. As an existing provider expanding its range of services, it highlights growth potential in the healthcare sector, particularly for companies specialising in hearing and rehabilitation services, with a focus on patient choice and quality over price. Businesses that can leverage technology in audiology and patient care to support the NHS structures might find robust opportunities through such tailor-made procurement processes. Furthermore, organisations looking to establish firm relationships with public health boards could explore similar regime-based procurement selectively available in niche healthcare segments.
