Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board is procuring an adult community audiology service across the whole Hampshire and Isle of Wight area. The service will assess, diagnose and manage hearing loss for eligible adults, delivered in line with NHS England standards, recognised best practice and local commissioning requirements. This is a healthcare service, specifically audiology and ear, nose and throat-related provision. It is intended as a new community-based service rather than a purchase of equipment alone. Organisations with the clinical capability to provide adult hearing-loss assessment, diagnosis and ongoing management should find the scope relevant, particularly where they can operate across the full Hampshire and Isle of Wight footprint.

The procurement has reached tender: the Integrated Care Board invited bids through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The contract is for five years, with an option to extend once by two years, giving a possible seven-year term. Its estimated value is £39,303,225 including the stated contract opportunity. Bids were to be submitted by 16 October 2026 at 12:00 BST; bid opening and the award period were scheduled from 12:01 BST the same day. The opportunity is being awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The tender comprises one service covering the entire geographical footprint.

This opportunity suits established audiology and hearing-health providers able to deliver the full patient pathway for eligible adults: community assessment, clinical diagnosis and management of hearing loss. Bidders need the professional capability to work to NHS England standards, accepted clinical best practice and local commissioning requirements. The service requires sufficient operational capacity to cover Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as a whole, rather than a small single-site service, and to sustain delivery over a substantial multi-year contract. Providers with experience of adult community audiology, NHS or similarly commissioned healthcare services, and the systems needed for consistent clinical governance and service management, are well placed to compete.
