Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust is in the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of Paediatric Audiology Services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), Direct Award Process C. This procurement, which falls outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023, utilises a limited procurement method without prior publication. The existing provider, DMC Healthcare Limited, located in Peckham, London, is intended to continue service provision, ensuring high standards with experienced staff, enhancing patient choice and employment in the community. The award decision was made by the Group Chief Finance Officer on 17th March 2026, and the standstill period for representation ends on 3rd April 2026. This contract will initially run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with an option to extend for three additional months, valued at £195,000, extendable up to £245,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in audiologist services, particularly those capable of providing integrated healthcare services. Firms that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery, effective staff utilisation, and community involvement will find this procurement beneficial in establishing or expanding their presence in the healthcare industry. Given the limited procurement method and the specific PSR requirements, businesses that can fulfil these standards and have experience working with NHS trusts will be particularly well-positioned to compete. The local impact and support for employment highlight the importance of providers who are not only service-oriented but also community-focused.
