Description

1.9 The Audiology department wish to provide a private dispensing service for commercial hearing aids. The cost of the aids ranges from £1,200 to £4,000. We wish to be able to offer payment options to the customer over a 12 month period and therefore seek an independent company to provide these payment options. At the moment we do not know the size of this service as it is new to the Trust, however the Trust will be exploring other private services in the future which could be added into any arrangement made. We would initially be looking for a 2 year contract with an option to extend for a further two years
