## Summary

The procurement process initiated by East Sussex County Council involves the tender titled "Sensory Impairment Equipment and Support Services", which falls under the industry category of health and social work services. Located in Lewes, United Kingdom, this procurement was initially planned as an open procedure with two distinct lots focusing on blind and visual impairment as well as hearing impairment. However, as of 24th April 2026, the tender has been withdrawn as per the tender cancellation notice. Initially, the contract period was intended to commence on 1st April 2026 with an estimated max extent date up to 31st March 2032. The planning stage was recorded on 15th May 2025, but subsequently, a decision was made to extend an existing arrangement, leading to the cancellation of related awards.

The planned open procedure aimed to attract diverse participations, potentially benefiting companies with innovative solutions in sensory support services.
