## Summary

NHS England commissioned specialist research and development consultancy services for paediatric audiology. The work is to produce a target product profile for auditory brainstem response (ABR) diagnostics, signalling to industry the technical requirements needed to improve diagnostic products. The profile is intended to set out technical details for a specific clinical diagnostic product, identify a key area of need, support manufacturers in meeting national standards and improve the quality of ABR diagnostics. This is a healthcare product-development and clinical diagnostics requirement, relevant to organisations with expertise in paediatric audiology, ABR testing, diagnostic technology, medical-device development and healthcare innovation. The commissioning organisation is NHS England, a central government public authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NHS England used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Insightful Health Ltd was selected for the single paediatric audiology lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement concerns research and development consultancy services, with the stated outcome being a target product profile for paediatric ABR. The published information records the award and contract outcome, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competing tenderers.

This procurement demonstrates NHS England demand for focused, technically informed work that translates a clinical diagnostic need into requirements that manufacturers can use. A credible future competitor would need practical knowledge of paediatric audiology and auditory brainstem response diagnostics, together with the ability to define product requirements clearly for industry. Relevant capability includes understanding clinical workflows and diagnostic quality, interpreting technical evidence, engaging with manufacturers and converting healthcare priorities into a usable target product profile. Experience in medical-device research, diagnostic product development, standards compliance and healthcare innovation would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route used here was a direct below-threshold award without competition, so organisations monitoring this buyer should understand how to present concise, specialist expertise around a defined clinical technology need.
