Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board invited bids for the delivery of an Adult Community Audiology Service, aiming to provide assessment, diagnosis, and management of hearing loss for eligible adults across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, in accordance with NHS England standards. Initially active as a tender in early 2026, the process was governed under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, distinct from the Procurement Act 2023 or Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The open procedure was planned to culminate with award details on 23 February 2026. However, a recent amendment indicated that this process has been abandoned without awarding a contract. Previous stages, including a Request for Information (RFI) issued in December 2025, sought provider insights to refine commissioning strategies.

This procurement opportunity represented significant business development possibilities for service providers specialising in audiology and related health services. The tender was devised to support a substantial contract with potential renewal terms extending across seven years, estimated to be valued at £33,836,859. Businesses engaged in audiologist or ENT services, particularly those operating within the UK, would find this opportunity conducive to leveraging their expertise in healthcare provision under NHS guidelines. The framework encouraged electronic submissions via the designated eTendering portal, underscoring the emphasis on technological adeptness among participating businesses. Despite the contract process halt, companies should remain vigilant for future opportunities within the NHS's procurement landscape.
