Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board for the awarding of a contract titled "Lincolnshire Over 50s Community-based Age Related Hearing Loss". Focused within the services category, this procurement pertains to ENT or audiologist services, particularly targeting the community-based assessment, hearing aid provision, and ear wax microsuction for individuals over 50. The process was carried out under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the awarded contract covers the period from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2030. The procurement method utilised was a limited, direct award process without prior publication, thus not covered by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract has an anticipated value of around £1,477,620 based on activity delivered, with Audiological Science Ltd being the selected supplier.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies already operating in the healthcare sector, specialising in audiology services. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions and demonstrate the ability to enhance patient choice would be well-placed to compete, especially due to the emphasis on patient-centric criteria. Given the award procedure's focus on existing services without the need for guaranteed activity, companies with a flexible, scalable approach to service delivery stand to benefit most. Additionally, engagement with this contract presents an advantage for suppliers looking to solidify their presence within the UKF3 region by partnering with a public body like NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board.
