This contract will span two years, starting from 1st October 2019, with potential for a one-year extension. The deadline for submitting tenders was 5th July 2019. The service aims to improve hearing-related quality of life for adults experiencing hearing loss, addressing significant social and health implications, in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England. The procurement method chosen for this process is an open procedure, which allows any eligible provider to apply, provided they meet the specified criteria outlined in the tender documents. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in audiology, hearing aids, and personalised care solutions. Companies that focus on delivering innovative and user-friendly hearing assessments, interventions, and aftercare services are well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the contract encourages a diverse range of providers to apply. By engaging in this tender, businesses can expand their market presence and contribute to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with hearing impairments in the Wakefield area. ## Notice NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group is seeking to procure an Adult Hearing Service for the registered population of Wakefield for 2 years, with an option to extend for a further 1 year, using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) route. Any provider will be eligible to apply for this AQP contract if they can demonstrate compliance with, and competency against, the specified criteria published within the tender documents. The impact of poor hearing in adults can be significant both at a personal and a societal level, leading to social isolation, depression, loss of independence and employment challenges. Assessing the hearing needs of adults with hearing loss, developing an individual management plan and providing appropriate interventions can reduce isolation, facilitate continued integration with society and promote independent living. The service required is for adults who have suspected or diagnosed hearing loss (with no contraindications). The broad quality outcomes required include: * Choice and control for service users as to where and when their treatment is delivered; * Personalised care for all service users accessing the service; * Timely access to hearing assessment, and a range of support services including hearing aid fitting, follow-up and on-going aftercare; * High proportion of service users continuing to benefit from the chosen intervention, including wearing hearing aids when required if they have been provided; * Reduced communication difficulties for service users with poor hearing; * Timely referral or signposting to other local services for support and equipment, including social services and voluntary services; * Access to clear guidance and information for service users and their families about the important role of hearing in maintaining effective communication and active engagement in a range of social and work settings, including advice on the range of support available; * High levels of satisfaction from service users accessing the service; * Improved quality of life for service users, their families/carers and communication partners. It should be noted that under the AQP model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded.
