NWL0093 Provision Audiology Maintenance Services in North West London

NWL CCG requires the provision of Audiology Maintenance service for existing patients who continue to be registered with an Ealing or Hounslow GP in North West London.

This service specification is for a community adult hearing assessment service, offering hearing aid fitting (where required), follow-up and aftercare services for adults aged 18 or over, with suspected or diagnosed hearing loss to the registered population of the NHS commissioning organisation.

Any potential providers will be able to join the register as it is AQP IF they meet the qualification criteria.

Any capable provider wanting to be considered to join this AQP arrangement may come forward by 2nd May 2022 to engage with the CCG.

Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded.

During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
