## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys custom-made audiology ear moulds for patients using behind-the-ear hearing aids and specialist hearing devices. The moulds are made individually from ear impressions and support new hearing-aid fittings as well as replacement and modification of existing moulds. The Trust’s audiology service provides hearing assessment, rehabilitation and hearing-aid services for people across Bradford and surrounding areas; delivery is in Bradford. This is a supply of hearing-care products, rather than a wider audiology service contract. The ear moulds are intended to support fit, patient comfort and clinical outcomes across patients of all ages. The procurement sits within the broader hearing-aid product category (CPV 33185000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Starkey Laboratories Limited. The award was made on 11 September 2026, at a value of £40,000. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2028. The Trust placed the order through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was treated as a goods contract. The stated contract value is £40,000. The tender deadline was 26 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or separate lot structure are recorded in the process details.

For suppliers of custom audiology products, this award demonstrates recurring demand from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for individually manufactured ear moulds, not simply standard hearing-aid stock. A credible supplier would need to turn patient ear impressions into well-fitting moulds and support new fittings alongside replacement and modification work. Consistent product quality matters because the moulds affect comfort, hearing-aid fit and clinical outcomes for patients of different ages, including users of specialist devices. The Trust used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to participate through the relevant framework route. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that competitors should assess whether their production capacity and service arrangements can meet the Trust’s ongoing audiology demand at this scale.

## Notice

The Audiology Department at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (BTHFT) provides comprehensive hearing assessment, rehabilitation, and hearing aid services to a large and diverse population across Bradford and the surrounding areas. As part of these services, the provision of custom ear moulds is a fundamental requirement, supporting patients of all ages who use behind-the-ear hearing aids and specialist hearing devices. Ear moulds are individually manufactured from patient ear impressions. Demand is driven by both new patient fittings and the ongoing replacement and modification of existing ear moulds. A reliable supply of high-quality custom ear moulds is essential to ensure effective hearing aid fitting, patient comfort, and optimal clinical outcomes.
