UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure Tier 2 community services for ear, nose and throat (ENT) and audiology provision. The requirement is classified as a healthcare service involving ENT or audiologist services. It is intended to support the Trust’s community-based service needs under the Provider Selection Regime. The procurement is structured as a single service requirement and is being considered by the Trust as the buying organisation. The available information identifies Stockport NHS Foundation Trust as the public sector buyer. The work will suit organisations that deliver clinical ENT services, audiology services, or a combination of both, particularly providers able to operate community-facing healthcare services for NHS patients.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use the Provider Selection Regime. The requirement is above the relevant threshold and is planned as one lot, with the buyer indicating that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable. The intended contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The market engagement milestone is scheduled for 28 July 2026, including access to the PME document through Atamis under contract reference C459048. No contract value or budget is stated. The engagement is intended to inform the buyer before it proceeds with the procurement.

This process is relevant to established healthcare providers specialising in ENT, audiology, or both, including SMEs that can deliver Tier 2 community services. Providers should use the engagement stage to explain their service model, clinical scope and ability to support community-based NHS delivery. Organisations with relevant ENT or audiology teams, operational capacity and experience of delivering patient-facing healthcare services are likely to be well placed to contribute. The buyer has specifically indicated that SMEs are suitable, so smaller specialist providers may wish to prepare evidence of their capability, service coverage and readiness to deliver the planned two-year contract when the procurement moves beyond engagement.
