## Summary

The NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board has recently concluded the procurement process for the "Cambrian Ear Wax Removal" service, categorised under the ENT or audiologist services industry (CPV 85121240). This service contract is planned to be active from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 and is valued at £16,000. The procurement, completed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, involved a direct award (Regulation 9, Direct Award C) to the existing provider, Sister Kate Limited. The procurement took place in Telford, UK, and adhered to a limited procedure method, bypassing the necessity for prior publication of a call for competition, as the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 were deemed not applicable.

For businesses specialising in audiologist services or healthcare service provision, particularly SMEs, this tender represents a concise opportunity for growth and collaboration with the NHS in the region. The contract awarded reflects stability and continuity in service provision, as Sister Kate Limited, an SME, was chosen due to satisfactory past performance. Companies looking to engage in similar health services in the County of Shropshire should consider positioning themselves for future procurement rounds by maintaining high service standards and engaging with ongoing NHS commissioning reviews in audiology services.
