Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "BTH Audiology Insourced Service" was initiated by the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust based in the United Kingdom. This process was specifically targeted at delivering audiology outpatient first appointment services. The procurement utilised an open competition method below the threshold, aiming to engage a broad range of suppliers. The award stage was completed with "Your Medical Services" being the successful supplier, having secured a contract valued at £19,000. The services are to be delivered in the UKD4 region starting from 3rd February 2026 and ending on 2nd May 2026. The process followed legal frameworks as per the Procurement Act 2023/54, ensuring compliance and fairness in tendering.

This tender offers significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in providing audiology services, such as ENT specialists or audiologists. Given the industry's focus on service quality and social value, businesses that can demonstrate capabilities in improving service access, delivering sustained service performance, and adhering to legal and financial qualifications are well-positioned to compete. Additionally, the open competition method provides an opportunity even for businesses that may not have an extensive track record in public contracts but meet the essential suitability criteria, such as being financially stable and legally eligible.
