## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust intends to award a contract for Audiology Services, including ENT, Hearing Tests, and Hearing Aid fittings, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), following the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This process, identified by the award notice OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05a52c, falls within the services category and specifically targets the region of UKC2. The procurement method is limited, identified as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to its classification outside the scope of the directive. The contract is expected to be active from 1st October 2025 until 31st December 2025, with the awarded supplier being Outpatient Network Limited, located in Milton Keynes.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audiology and ENT services to expand their offerings in a public healthcare setting. Companies adept at providing bespoke healthcare interventions, particularly within the ENT and hearing aid fitting disciplines, would find this contract beneficial. SMEs, such as Outpatient Network Limited, which actively engage in service areas impacted by COVID-related delays in elective surgeries, can leverage such opportunities to establish or enhance partnerships with NHS Trusts. The focus on improving pre-assessments and related surgical processes highlights potential collaborations for businesses equipped to deliver efficient, high-quality healthcare solutions.

## Notice

Audiology Services, ENT, Hearing Tests and to fit Hearing Aids

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The COVID pandemic has seen elective surgery suspended during the first and second waves of the pandemic. This resulted in a dramatic fall in surgical procedures being undertaken and a relates increase in patients waiting for surgery, and waiting long periods of time. This will undoubtably lead to worsening health and impact on postoperative recovery, complication rates and increased burden on primary and secondary care.

The plan for the region is to target the complex issues known to impact on postponements from pre-assessments, on the day cancellations, complications and failed day case rates. The areas to be targeted have already been piloted within the city, existing services that have been established and can be referred into and also new bespoke interventions.
Targeted areas for interventions that are part of this agreement are:
1. ENT
2. Hearing Tests
3. Fitting of Hearing Aids
