NHSWYICB - Adult Hearing Service for over 55s

The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has finalised the procurement process for the "Adult Hearing Service for over 55s". This service falls under the "ENT or audiologist services" category and is situated in the United Kingdom, specifically within West Yorkshire. The procurement was conducted through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and followed the direct award process without a prior call for competition.

This contract, which will run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, has been awarded to suppliers including Specsavers Hearcare Group, Scrivens Ltd, and Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. The formal contract award was confirmed as of 29th December 2025. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in audiology and hearing services.

With a focus on providing comprehensive, patient-centred care for age-related hearing loss, suppliers with a track record of delivering high-standard services in similar fields are well-suited to compete. The involvement of established suppliers like Specsavers and Scrivens highlights the scale of operations required for successful execution, favouring businesses with strong capabilities in quality service delivery and an understanding of NHS standards and requirements. Potential suppliers can position themselves for future opportunities by demonstrating their ability to meet or exceed existing service levels.
