## Summary

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB has issued a tender for the provisioning of Adult Hearing Services (non-complex) classified under ENT or audiologist services (CPV 85121240). The procurement will follow a Direct Award C PSR process, starting from 8th October 2024 and running until 30th September 2025, with the contract's lifetime value estimated at approximately £1,636,998. The buying organisation is located at Stafford Education & Enterprise Park, Weston Road, Stafford (UKG24). Key deadlines include the date for representations by providers, which is 7th October 2024. This tender is in the tendering stage with the intentions to award to the Industrial Diagnostics Company.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for organisations experienced in providing audiology services to adults with hearing and communication difficulties. The contract is structured on a zero-based activity model reflective of local pricing, ensuring profitability aligns with service delivery. Businesses that specialise in healthcare services, particularly within the audiology sector and capable of delivering high-quality assessments and hearing rehabilitation services, would find this tender suitable. SMEs, especially those already engaged with NHS contracts, could leverage their existing capabilities to fulfil this contract's requirements.

## Notice

Adult hearing services (Audiology) provide support for adults experiencing hearing and communication difficulties who feel that they might benefit from a hearing assessment and rehabilitation, including the option of trying hearing aids with aftercare and support.
