Lot Information
Lot 1
NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board have awarded a time limited (3 years and 1 month) contract for the provision of Audiology Services, to OutsideClinic Limited under urgent circumstances. In April 2025, Outside Clinic provided notice of their intention to withdraw from NHS Frimley ICB service provision. This urgent award is limited to patient pathway completion (including aftercare) for the following groups of patients only: 1) new referrals for patients registered with any Frimley ICB GP Practice received up to and including 18th July 2025; 2) Frimley ICB patients already in the pathway; 3) Frimley ICB patients who are accepted onto the pathway by the end of the business day on 31st July 2025; 4) Frimley ICB patients who have already started their aftercare pathway. Only the aftercare aspects of the pathway will be provided after 31st July 2025. This urgent award sets out the terms under which Frimley ICB patients are able to complete their pathways and access aftercare. As pathways are paid in advance, this is a zero-value contract. As there is a 3-year pathway for patients, and referrals for new patients cease on 18th July 2025, the contract term will commence 01.07.2025 and end 31.07.2028. The total expected lifetime value of the contract is PS0. The contract term will commence 01.07.2025 and end 31.07.2028 This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
