## Summary

The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB is facilitating a procurement process for the North Staffordshire Adult Hearing Service, targeting non-complex cases. This service falls under the "ENT or audiologist services" category and is classified as a service contract. The procurement is designated as a Direct Award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), set to begin on 8th October 2024 and end on 30th September 2025, with a total contract value of approximately £179,280. This service is designed for adults facing hearing and communication difficulties and aims to provide hearing assessments, rehabilitation, and hearing aids with aftercare support.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in audiology or ENT services, particularly those already established in providing similar services. Successful bidders will benefit from maintaining or increasing their market share within the healthcare sector, especially given the stability and continuity afforded by the Direct Award approach. Companies like Scrivens Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Birmingham, are examples of organisations well-suited to compete effectively. The contract’s structure, anchored in local prices and activity, allows for predictable business revenue, potentially leading to sustainable business growth.
