## Summary

The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for an outsourced ENT service aimed at alleviating a significant backlog of approximately 1,800 patients. The provision is classified under the CPV category for ENT or audiologist services and is part of a services procurement category. The procurement method adopted was limited, specifically a negotiated procedure without the publication of a contract notice, following an unsuccessful mini-competition in November 2021. The contract was awarded to Harrow Health CIC on 14 January 2022, with the service expected to be delivered within the UK, particularly in London, to ensure patient safety during the ongoing pressures posed by COVID-19.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and medical services sector, especially those capable of providing outsourced ENT services. Companies specialising in audiology and healthcare solutions that can swiftly align with the demands of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to address patient backlogs would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The urgency of the Trust’s needs highlights the potential for growth and partnership in this area for qualified providers.
