## Summary

The procurement process for the Adult Hearing Service across Cheshire and Merseyside was initiated by the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board. This tender falls under the services category within the health services industry, targeting various regions including Cheshire East, Cheshire West, Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St. Helens, and Wirral. Initially, an intention to award notice was published on 3rd April 2025, marking the start of an 8-working-day standstill period for representations from providers. Although the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) governs the process, the contracting under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 does not apply. The procurement method employed was a limited direct award procedure, with the contract intended to commence on 1st April 2025 for a one-year duration.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth in the hearing services sector, as it focuses on reducing health inequalities and improving access through collaboration and sustainability. Businesses specialising in healthcare services and possessing capabilities in quality and innovation could find this tender an excellent opportunity to expand their service delivery within the UK regions specified. Existing providers with a proven track record in similar contracts would be particularly well-suited given the criteria focusing heavily on social value, quality, innovation, and integration. This contract, although intended for direct award, underscores the potential for service providers who can deliver value and choice in healthcare solutions.

## Notice

The service required is for a hearing assessment service, including hearing aid fitting (where required), rehabilitative support, follow-up and aftercare services for adults who are registered with a GP in the commissioned Places in Cheshire and Merseyside.
