The contract spans three years and one month, commencing on 1st July 2025 and concluding on 31st July 2028. This follows OutsideClinic's notice of withdrawal from service provision, prompting an urgent award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement stage is complete, and the award decision was sanctioned by NHS Frimley ICB's Provider Selection and Contracting Group. The contract focuses on facilitating patient pathway completion, specifically catering to new referrals received up until 18th July 2025 and other specified groups, with only aftercare continuing post 31st July 2025. As part of the procurement, only one bid was considered, and the process was executed under a limited procurement method, circumventing the usual call for competition due to its urgency. This contract presents a business growth opportunity for firms in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in miscellaneous health services such as audiology. Businesses equipped to offer high-quality patient care and aftercare services would thrive in this setting. The provision enables businesses to engage with a committed healthcare buyer and leverage long-term service demands within the NHS Frimley ICB's jurisdiction. Industrial bodies that can align with the provider selection regime and effectively address the specific needs outlined, such as completing patient pathways, will find this procurement beneficial. The sustainability of services within the specified locale ensures a steady flow of operations, allowing businesses to expand their footprint in the healthcare service industry. ## Notice NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board have awarded a time limited (3 years and 1 month) contract for the provision of Audiology Services, to OutsideClinic Limited under urgent circumstances.
