This is an advertisement for soft market testing to gauge market interest which will influence future commissioning and procurement direction. It is not a call for competition and providers are advised that a separate procurement opportunity will be advertised by the Commissioner in the future. Interested providers should therefore not take this advert as a registration for the future procurement opportunity and will need to register separately for this when it is advertised. The procurement opportunity is likely to be advertised on Friday 18th August 2023. NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board (STW ICB) are looking to seek expressions of interest and to engage with suitably qualified and experienced Providers with regards to the commissioning of a Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss Service for Adults Aged 55 and Over.
