## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Sunderland CCG, who are commissioning an Audiology (Adult Hearing Service - Age Related Hearing Loss) service. The tender, identified as NECS357, is classified under health and social work services (CPV code: 85000000) and is focused on two lots, specifically for Sunderland and South Tyneside. The procurement is currently at the active tender stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 12 noon on 20 September 2021. The decision on successful bids will be announced shortly after the bid opening on 21 September 2021. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals electronically through the NECS e-tendering portal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those capable of providing audiology services. Companies specialising in health services, especially those with experience in adult hearing services, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate a commitment to improving local economic, social, and environmental well-being will have an advantage, as these considerations are central to the commissioning process. Given the potential changes in the commissioning structure post-April 2022, businesses should also consider strategic partnerships with local organisations to enhance their bids.
