Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Patient Lived Experience in Paediatric Hearing Services" was managed by NHS England, a central government public authority. Located in London, the procurement falls under the health services category. The tender was initiated on 27th May 2026, with awards given and contracts signed shortly thereafter. The procurement method was direct award due to technical reasons, in line with the 2023 UKPGA legislation. The contract value was set at £200,000 net of VAT, concluding on 11th June 2026. Notably, the contract faced termination on 9th June 2026 due to the contract's completion.

This tender presents opportunities for organisations within the health services industry, particularly those focusing on paediatric hearing services, to expand their service offerings and reach. Large organisations with the technical expertise and capability to deliver comprehensive paediatric hearing services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The National Deaf Children’s Society, the supplier for this contract, was tasked with implementing work packages crucial to enhancing paediatric hearing programmes. Although the contract reached its termination due to completion, similar future tenders may offer significant potential for growth and industry impact for qualified service providers.
