## Summary

The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) is planning to award a contract for the provision of community Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services in the UKG24 region (Staffordshire County) with an approximate lifetime value of £225,383.00. This block contract intends to deliver a timely assessment of patients presenting with ENT conditions, who might otherwise seek secondary care services. The contract is set to commence on 8th October 2024 and run until 30th September 2025. The procurement follows a Direct Award process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and focuses on maintaining existing service capacity and reducing demands on primary and secondary care without significant changes to the existing contract terms.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the healthcare service industry, particularly those specialising in audiology and other ENT-related services. Suitable candidates would likely be existing providers with a proven track record in delivering similar services, as the focus is on continuity and satisfaction of current contract standards. This contract can offer business growth by securing a consistent revenue stream from a reputable public health authority and enhancing their service portfolio within the region. Businesses adept at managing block contracts and providing comprehensive aftercare and support services would be well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity.
