**PIN as a Call for Competition**
NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (the "CCG") requires the provision of hearing aid services. The CCG has had an "Any Qualified Provider (AQP)" arrangement for hearing aid services in place and intends to extend that arrangement until 31 March 2023. The CCG has taken the decision to amend the Specification and provide an uplift in respect of the NHS Tariff prices for the hearing aid services.
As a result of these amendments, the CCG is opening a window to allow applications from any new providers wishing to be part of the AQP. Any provider interested in delivering these services should download the Specification from EU-Supply [access details provided below] and complete the question set providing their details. Providers expressing an interest must do so by 1700hrs on the 8th July 2022 to be considered, no late applications will be accepted. All providers who have expressed an interest will then be invited to a separate AQP procurement process. If they are successful in the procurement process, they will be issued with a contract for the remainder of the contract period to 31st March 2023 (approximately 6 months).
Providers who are interested in providing services are able to express an interest using the link below.
During 2022, it is anticipated that the 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.
