This initiative falls under the medical hospital services category, aiming to minimise waiting lists for audiology services through patient validation. The procurement stage is complete, following the award of the contract on 11th March 2026, set to run from 1st February to 31st March 2026, with a total contract value of £50,000. The process was carried out under the Provider Selection Regime using a limited procurement method, justified by urgent circumstances.
