This contract, valued at approximately £927,000, is set to run from 1st April 2024 until 31st March 2026. The contract was awarded through a Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime, which is not subject to Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023. The service will be delivered from several sites across Surrey Downs, including Epsom, Leatherhead, Banstead, and Dorking, providing accessible and local hearing aid services. The procurement stage is completed with the contract now active.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services industry, especially those specialising in ENT or audiology services.

The focus on integration, collaboration, and sustainability aligns well with companies looking to innovate in community-based healthcare services, especially those that can engage with local networks and provide economic solutions. The project supports the sustainability agenda by reducing reliance on hospital services and demonstrates value for money, making it particularly attractive for businesses aiming to enhance their market presence in the health sector, especially within the Surrey area.
