NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board have awarded a time limited (3 years and 1 month) contract for the provision of Audiology Services, to OutsideClinic Limited under urgent circumstances. In April 2025, Outside Clinic provided notice of their intention to withdraw from NHS Frimley ICB service provision. This urgent award is limited to patient pathway completion (including aftercare) for the following groups of patients only: 1) new referrals for patients registered with any Frimley ICB GP Practice received up to and including 18th July 2025; 2) Frimley ICB patients already in the pathway; 3) Frimley ICB patients who are accepted onto the pathway by the end of the business day on 31st July 2025; 4) Frimley ICB patients who have already started their aftercare pathway. Only the aftercare aspects of the pathway will be provided after 31st July 2025. This urgent award sets out the terms under which Frimley ICB patients are able to complete their pathways and access aftercare. As pathways are paid in advance, this is a zero-value contract. As there is a 3-year pathway for patients, and referrals for new patients cease on 18th July 2025, the contract term will commence 01.07.2025 and end 31.07.2028. The total expected lifetime value of the contract is £0. The contract term will commence 01.07.2025 and end 31.07.2028 This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Miscellaneous health services (85140000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8520,5181 median · 29.4 average (10,087 of 20,518 with a bid count)2 average (11,112 of 20,518 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

  "description": "NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board have awarded a time limited (3 years and 1 month) contract for the provision of Audiology Services, to OutsideClinic Limited under urgent circumstances.\nIn April 2025, Outside Clinic provided notice of their intention to withdraw from NHS Frimley ICB service provision. This urgent award is limited to patient pathway completion (including aftercare) for the following groups of patients only: \n1) new referrals for patients registered with any Frimley ICB GP Practice received up to and including 18th July 2025; \n2) Frimley ICB patients already in the pathway; \n3) Frimley ICB patients who are accepted onto the pathway by the end of the business day on 31st July 2025; \n4) Frimley ICB patients who have already started their aftercare pathway. \nOnly the aftercare aspects of the pathway will be provided after 31st July 2025.\nThis urgent award sets out the terms under which Frimley ICB patients are able to complete their pathways and access aftercare.\nThe decision to award the contract was approved by NHS Frimley ICB's Provider Selection and Contracting Group (PSCG).\nThere were no declarations of conflict as part of this process.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.",
