This procurement process is in the active Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 19th February 2019. The procurement will take place in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, and the contract period is expected to run from 1st May 2019 to 31st March 2022. The process follows an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) model to secure additional capacity in adult hearing services for individuals aged 55 and over, as well as the introduction of community-based micro-suction services for patients aged 18 and above. This tender represents significant opportunities for growth for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are engaged in healthcare and audiology services. Companies with expertise in providing accessible hearing assessments, community health services, or micro-suction techniques will find this an advantageous procurement process. Participation in this tender could help expand service offerings and reach to local communities, thereby enhancing the competitive landscape for health service providers in the West Midlands region. ## Notice NHS South Warwickshire CCG is running an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) Process for the following services: - Lot 1 - Adult Hearing Service for Age Related Hearing Loss - Lot 2 - Community Micro-suction services Lot 1, for Adult Hearing Services for Age Related Hearing Loss is a re-opening of the existing Adult Hearing Loss Service AQP. Providers who have previously applied, and been successful for, this service need not apply.The CCG is re-opening the existing AQP in order to secure additional capacity across the market. The service is aimed at adults aged 55 and over experiencing difficulties with their hearing and communication where a GP considers they may benefit from hearing assessment and care. It provides a comprehensive service user-centred direct access hearing service. Lot 2, for Community Micro-suction services is a new requirement which is closely related to the Adult Hearing Service requirement. The intention of the Commissioner is, therefore, to procure both requirements making use of a single procurement vehicle. The micro-suction service will provide community based wax removal services for patients who are aged 18 and above using micro-suction and any other suitable instruments under microscopic or magnified visualisation that would previously have required referral to secondary care but does not require specialist intervention. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92671b77-42fa-40c2-af85-1e679ddda2e9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 19 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | WARWICK | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV34 4DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | | Local authority | Warwick | | Electoral ward | Warwick Saltisford | | Westminster constituency | Warwick and Leamington | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 23 Jan 2019 at 08:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92671b77-42fa-40c2-af85-1e679ddda2e9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92671b77-42fa-40c2-af85-1e679ddda2e9 23rd January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=26926&B=OGC Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/68205 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.southwarwickshireccg.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
