Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Audiology Services to Scrivens Limited. This 12-month contract covers services within the East Berkshire locality and falls under the Miscellaneous Health Services category. The procurement, which began with a tender stage, was conducted urgently under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, bypassing standard Public Contracts Regulations due to pressing needs in service equity. The contract, valued at £84,315, commences on 1st June 2025 and concludes on 31st May 2026. The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit facilitated this procurement process, ensuring preparedness to address service risks.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in healthcare services and those capable of managing urgent, case-by-case service needs. The opportunity is well-aligned with firms accustomed to providing personalised and potentially high-demand medical services under regulated environments. Businesses with robust operational capabilities in the UK health sector, especially those within the audiology field, may find themselves well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The procurement method entailed a limited procedure without prior competitive bidding, suggesting potential for agile and resourceful organisations to seize last-minute contractual opportunities in similar contexts.
