## Summary

The procurement process, identified under ID 040168-2026, involves the purchase of community audiology services across Cheshire and Merseyside. The buying organisation, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board, sought to improve local healthcare services through this service category, which falls under the industry classification of health services. This particular process reached the award stage, with the contract starting on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027. The procurement method used was limited and involved direct awarding without prior publication of a call for competition, as part of the Healthcare Services Provider Selection Regime under the 2023 regulations. Despite the process having been completed, the awarded contract remains active, with Audiological Science Ltd being the successful supplier.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those focused on audiology. As the commissioning process falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, it offers a unique procurement path for suitable partners under the Provider Selection Regime. Such opportunities can drive business growth, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Audiological Science Ltd, capable of providing comprehensive audiology solutions within the specified locations. Companies with a strategic focus on patient choice, quality, and competitive pricing would be well-suited to competing for similar future contracts in the healthcare sector.
