This contract is targeted at providing services such as community-based adult hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, and aftercare for individuals over 18 years within the Birmingham region (UKG31). The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the standstill period commencing on 15th August 2025.

The service is set to begin on 1st October 2024 and conclude on 30th September 2026, with an estimated contract value of £3,306,075.58. The procurement followed a direct award process without prior publication of a competitive call due to the suitability of the existing provider.

Companies equipped to deliver high-quality hearing assessments and aftercare services in challenging environments, such as rural and hard-to-reach areas, can greatly benefit from such opportunities. The selected provider, SEAMAP LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Birmingham, underscores the suitability for similarly scaled organisations to engage in such procurement processes, indicating a favourable environment for enterprises focusing on maintaining service quality and achieving integration within healthcare environments.
