Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured consultancy support to review its audiology service. The requirement is classified as financial consultancy services, so the work concerns specialist advisory input rather than the provision of clinical audiology equipment or direct patient treatment. Alder Hey is the buying organisation, based at Eaton Road, West Derby, Liverpool. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. The procurement relates to one completed requirement. The available description focuses on reviewing the Trust’s audiology service, making this relevant to consultancies that can assess healthcare service operations and provide structured advice to an NHS provider. Firms whose work is limited to general clinical delivery, equipment supply or unrelated consultancy are less closely aligned with the stated requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and ran from 5 July 2026 to 5 July 2026, indicating a single-day contract period. The award is active and was made to IMPACT TRAINING (N.I) LIMITED for the completed requirement. The contract value is £13,500 excluding VAT and £16,200 including VAT. The procurement used one lot, which is also complete. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The awarded service is classified as financial consultancy services, although the tender description identifies the practical subject as a review of Alder Hey’s audiology service.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers tracking Alder Hey’s use of external consultancy for audiology-service review work. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can undertake a focused review for an NHS organisation and translate findings into useful service advice. Relevant firms include healthcare consultancies and advisers with experience examining audiology or comparable specialist clinical services, together with the ability to present work as consultancy rather than routine service delivery. The classification as financial consultancy services also indicates that commercial, financial or value-focused analysis may form part of the expected offer. Suppliers should therefore be able to connect service-review findings with practical financial or operational recommendations for a public healthcare buyer.
