## Summary

NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board procured adult audiology services for people aged 55 and over who experience hearing and communication difficulties. The service covers assessment and support for hearing-related needs, classified as ear, nose and throat or audiologist services. Delivery is for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The procurement is a healthcare service rather than goods or construction works, and was arranged under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The selected provider is Scrivens Limited, an audiology business based in Birmingham. The requirement concerns an existing service and existing provider, indicating continuity of provision for the affected adult population.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Scrivens Limited was selected for the audiology service. The contract is valued at £863,704 and was signed on 12 January 2026. Its stated contract period runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, including a one-year extension period. The process used direct award process B, described as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. It was conducted under the Provider Selection Regime, so the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. One bid was recorded. The award criterion was patient choice, recorded as 100% cost weighting. The related lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This outcome identifies a recurring requirement for an established audiology provider able to deliver services to adults aged 55 and over with hearing and communication difficulties across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. A credible competitor would need the clinical capability, qualified audiology staff, patient-facing capacity and operational coverage to maintain an existing service for this population. The evaluation emphasis on patient choice means providers should be able to demonstrate accessible delivery and a service model that supports patients in choosing their care. The single recorded bid and appointment of an SME indicate that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation. Experience of NHS healthcare service delivery and the Provider Selection Regime route would also be commercially relevant when this requirement returns.
