Summary of the contracting process

NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board is conducting an open tender process for the provision of Community Audiology services under the industry category of Health Services. The primary goal is to provide services to adults aged 55 or over registered with a GP in the Coventry and Warwickshire region. This competitive tender process, which began with a call for expressions of interest on 6th October 2025, will culminate with service provision set to commence on 1st April 2026. The deadline for tender submissions is 31st October 2025. The procurement method follows an open procedure, and the total contract value over a possible five-year period is expected to be £17,484,337. The procurement is not bound by the Procurement Act 2023 as it's subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses offering audiology and related health services to expand their operations into the Coventry and Warwickshire areas. With a contract potentially valued at over £17 million, this is an ideal competitive opportunity for organisations proficient in delivering adult hearing services. Companies already experienced in health services provision, particularly those capable of handling a substantial number of procedures annually, stand to benefit significantly. Potential bidders should have the capability to commence service by April 2026 and maintain compliance with the outlined procurement regulations. This tender enables businesses to bolster their profiles by aligning with a reputable public health body and expanding their market presence within the strategic health services industry.
