This contract pertains to ENT or audiologist services targeted at adults over 55 experiencing hearing and communication difficulties, located in the UKK30 region. The procurement is currently in the award update stage, following a transition from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to the PSR 2023, with a Direct Award Process B. This extension, running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, represents a contract value increase of over 25% for a total of £139,021, including a £29,126 uplift for a 12-month extension to ensure alignment with NHSPS financial regulations.
