Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Adult Hearing Over 50 (AQP)" contract was conducted by NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, located in Sunderland, UK. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on ENT or audiologist services, as per the CPV classification scheme. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication, in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, thus excluding the Procurement Act 2023. The contract's start date was 1st April 2025, concluding on the 31st of March 2026, with a total value of £185,164. Some key involvement dates included a representation deadline on the 15th of August 2025 during the standstill period. The procurement process reached the award stage as of 17th September 2025, confirming the contract was awarded to Scrivens Ltd.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses within the audiology sector, particularly those that can deliver ENT and audiologist services. Service providers with capabilities to meet the stringent quality standards and requirements assessed under the Provider Selection Regime could effectively vie for such contracts in the future. The process highlights the importance of meeting critical criteria, offering a pathway for existing providers like Scrivens Ltd to strengthen their service portfolios and expand their presence within the healthcare sector. Given the procurement method, businesses with a track record of satisfying existing contracts would find themselves well-suited to compete for such opportunities.
