## Summary

The NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently conducting a market engagement process titled "Age Related Adult Hearing Loss Lincolnshire - Market Engagement Questionnaire". This initiative targets the health services sector and is focused on the Lincoln area in the East Midlands. The current stage of procurement is planning, with a key milestone set for the engagement end date on 23rd February 2018. Providers are invited to submit their feedback on the draft specification by the deadline of 12pm (noon) on 13th September 2016, following which a formal procurement process may commence.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in audiology services, particularly those that can cater to individuals over the age of 50. Companies with expertise in health service provision and those interested in forming partnerships or subcontracting arrangements may find this an advantageous opportunity. Engaging in this early consultation allows providers to influence service delivery models and better understand market needs, which could enhance their competitive positioning in the forthcoming procurement process.

Please note that while this is an opportunity to comment, the Commissioners are not obligated to incorporate or change the draft specification. This process has been designed to allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity and support early engagement and networking between providers looking to sub-contract or form partnerships with other providers. If you wish to comment on the draft specification, please register on the Bravo Portal (https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk) against PQQ_296, where you can access the specification and attach your comments.
