## Summary

NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of Community ENT Services in Milton Keynes to Watling Street Practice, under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract, valued at £414,844, was signed on 25th February 2025 and is aimed at reducing inappropriate referrals to specialist services by boosting management in GP practices. NHS England will act as the review body for this procurement, which falls outside the application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, and the award was approved by the BLMK ICB Chiefs at their Investment Oversight Group Meeting in January 2025.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in ENT and audiologist services to establish a strong presence within the local healthcare sector in Milton Keynes. With the provision aimed at enhancing service continuity and administrative oversight, larger healthcare practices with robust management capacities are well-suited to compete for similar tenders. As the contract seeks to improve the efficiency of GP practices in handling ENT cases, companies with expertise in medical management and service delivery can leverage this opportunity for business growth and stability in the healthcare market.
