Description

NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WY ICB) is inviting interested providers to bid for a Community Adult Hearing Loss Service for Leeds under a lead provider contracting model.
Please note that the service is to be delivered to Leeds patients only and not across West Yorkshire.
The aim of the service is to deliver local community hearing loss services across Leeds to include diagnosis and management of hearing loss and supply of hearing aids. This service complements and works in partnership with existing and future primary and secondary care hearing loss services; and in a manner which ensures that patients receive access to appropriate diagnosis, treatment and management in the most effective and efficient ways possible. This should include micro-suction, tinnitus clinics or other specialist clinics, domiciliary visits for bed bound and end of life patients, care homes. We would also expect audiologists to work in support of Dementia pathways and working in collaboration with Learning Disabilities team to ensure equity of access for the bi-annual health check of these patients which will include earlier diagnosis of hearing loss.
The service will be led by an experienced Head of Audiology/Healthcare Scientist who holds a substantive appointment within a current accredited service and have had appropriate qualifications for at least 5 years.
The contract we intend to offer to the successful bidder at the end of this procurement will be for a duration of 5 years, which is intended to run from 1 April 2023 until 31 March 2028. There would be a possibility of up to 2 extensions of a further 1 year each, subject to any restrictions placed nationally by NHS England or the Department of Health.

The Services to which this Procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'). As such, the procurement of the Services is being run as a bespoke process akin to the competitive procedure with negotiation. NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (WY ICB) in Leeds does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 services.
