Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Community Audiology" services is conducted by the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board. The process focused on delivering age-related hearing assessments and aids across the Lancashire and South Cumbria regions. The procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically in the ENT or audiologist services industry, coded as CPV 85121240.

Initially, a direct award process was intended; however, it was abandoned under the Provider Selection Regime, as no contract has been awarded through the original plan. Subsequently, an intention to award a contract to Scrivens Limited was announced, subject to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with a standstill period ending by 11th April 2025.

The contract is slated to begin on 1st April 2025 and conclude by 31st March 2028, with an option for a two-year extension. Existing providers stand to benefit the most, given the NHS’s satisfaction with prior performance and the direct award process currently in focus.
