Community-based Consultant Led Ophthalmology Service to Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board

This public procurement process involves an award of a contract by the NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board for a community-based consultant-led ophthalmology service. The contract, awarded to SpaMedica Limited, pertains to the health services industry category. It was decided under the Provider Selection Regime, with the Health Care Services Regulations 2023 applying, and began on 1 December 2024 with a 16-month term lasting until 31 March 2026.

The procurement method was limited, following a direct award with no prior publication of a call for competition. Services will be delivered in Swindon, at Canberra House, Great Western Way, and the contract was signed on 1 May 2024. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services industry, particularly those with expertise in providing ophthalmology care.

As the contract does not fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, it provides a distinctive opportunity, especially for large-scale health service providers like SpaMedica Limited, to showcase their capabilities in managing community-based health services. Companies with the infrastructure to promptly deliver comprehensive ophthalmological services such as cataract surgeries, glaucoma treatments, and laser procedures in the specified region are ideally suited to compete in future related procurement processes.
