## Summary

The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB is initiating a tender process for the procurement of adult hearing services, specifically targeting ENT or audiologist services. This tender falls under the healthcare services category, and the procurement is managed through a Direct Award C PSR process. The contract, valued at approximately £90,194 for the 2023/24 period, is set to commence on the 11th of October 2024, with the service provision lasting until the 30th of September 2025. The services will be provided in Stafford (UKG24 region), with the procurement method cited as limited, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of providing high-quality audiology services tailored to adult patients. Companies specialising in hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, and related aftercare would find this contract particularly beneficial. The continuation of existing services ensures stability and reduced demand on both primary and secondary care, making it an attractive proposition for businesses already operating within the healthcare sector. SMEs are encouraged to compete, as the procurement criteria are geared towards maintaining current service standards with a known provider.

## 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. This is a zero based contract based on activity and local prices. The contract expenditure for 2023/24 was PS90,194. This notice is for a Direct Award C PSR process to commence from 11th of October 2024 for 12 months bringing the lifetime value of the contract to the value of c. PS90,194. Under the test for considerable change this is within the permitted criteria (not exceeding PS500,000 and 25%).
