Leicester City Council awarded a contract to Action Deafness for the provision of Assessment and Equipment services for people who are D/deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing.

The contract, valued at £200,000, commenced on 01/04/2023 for an initial term of 36 months, ending on 31/03/2026, with an option to extend for a further 24 months to 31/03/2028.

The direct award followed a commissioning review that began in October 2021 and a soft market testing exercise that yielded no expressions of interest, indicating limited availability of specialist providers.

Action Deafness confirmed interest in continuing delivery, and completing a tender bid would have reduced their capacity.
