The service will assess, diagnose and manage hearing loss for eligible adults. This is a healthcare service within audiology and ear, nose and throat provision, classified under CPV 85121240. Delivery will be across the Hampshire and Isle of Wight footprint, rather than at a single stated site. The commissioning requirements include compliance with NHS England standards, relevant best practice and local requirements. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide a community-based adult hearing-loss service covering the full geography and the complete pathway from assessment through diagnosis and management. This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The previous procurement process was abandoned. The buyer anticipates publishing a Contract Notice on 7 September 2026. The proposed contract would run for five years from 1 April 2028, with an option to extend for a further two years. The value for the initial five-year term is £27,873,882, with an estimated £11,396,650 for the optional extension period. The planned procurement is for one service covering the entire Hampshire and Isle of Wight footprint. These dates and arrangements are the buyer’s current expectations for the forthcoming competition. The service is likely to suit established audiology providers, NHS organisations, independent healthcare businesses and consortia able to deliver adult community hearing-loss services at scale across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Relevant capability includes clinical assessment, diagnosis and ongoing management of hearing loss for eligible adults, supported by suitably qualified audiology and related ear, nose and throat professionals. Providers should be prepared to demonstrate delivery in line with NHS England standards, recognised best practice and local commissioning requirements. The wide geographical coverage favours organisations with a community-service operating model, sufficient clinical capacity and arrangements for consistent delivery across the whole footprint. Potential suppliers can use the planning period to review the requirements and prepare for the future tender. ## Notice This notice is being published to alert the market to the forthcoming publication of a tender opportunity for Adult Community Audiology Services.
