The tender, titled "Community Adult Audiology AQP," falls within the health sector and is being conducted in London. The procurement method is classified as open, with the deadline for bid submissions set for 9th February 2022 at noon. The new contracts are anticipated to commence on 1st April 2022, running for three years, with the potential for a two-year extension. The estimated annual value of this procurement is £2,700,000, excluding VAT. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in audiology and related services. Companies that are experienced in providing patient-centred care and have the capacity to deliver hearing aids for age-related hearing loss would be well-suited to compete. The AQP model allows for a flexible approach, meaning providers will have their contract value determined by activity levels and patient choice. Interested suppliers should prepare to engage through the ProContract e-tendering portal to access detailed procurement documentation and submit their bids before the specified deadline. ## Notice NHS South East London CCG is seeking to award new contracts for Community Adult Audiology services under an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) model. The aim of the service will be to provide a comprehensive patient-centered Community Adult Audiology service which will include the provision of hearing aids for age related hearing loss (non complex) in-line with national guidance (NICE) and local requirements for the patients registered with a GP Practice within South East London CCG. ### Lot Information Lot 1 New AQP contracts will start on 1st April 2022 and run for a period of three years until 31st March 2025 with a further extension option of up to two years to 31st March 2027. The indicative annual value of activity through the AQP is PS2,700,000 (Ex VAT). Please note that AQP contracts awarded will have no minimum contract value as the contract value for a particular AQP provider will be dependent on activity and patient choice. The Authority will consider requests from Preferred Bidders who are not existing AQP providers for a later contract commencement date. However, where any AQP contracts start later than 1st April 2022, the end dates will still be fixed at 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2027 (initial period end date and extended period end date respectively). The Authority wish(es) to receive responses to the ITT from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary capacity, capability and premises (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability within the requisite timescale, which is notified to Potential Bidders in the ITT) to provide the range of Services as set out in the ITT, in a safe and effective manner subject to any conditions specified in the Contract or any tender documents issued in connection with the Procurement.
