NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26 - Specsavers Optical Superstores Limited
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
In the public procurement process managed by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, a contract titled "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26 - Specsavers Optical Superstores Limited" has been awarded to Specsavers Optical Superstores Limited. This contract, which falls under the industry category of optician services, is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.
The award was made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, utilising a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presents growth opportunities for optometry businesses capable of providing comprehensive optician services while holding a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract, as the newly awarded LCS contract is designed to enhance the GOS agreement. The contract's nature allows existing service providers already engaging in such services to expand their capacity and enhance patient choice quality.
Given the contract's unique integration requirements between LCS and GOS, optometry service providers with established operations in Rotherham and the surrounding areas would be particularly well-suited to compete in this sector.
The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.<br/><br/>The contract has been awarded following the direst award process B.<br/><br/>The value of the contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity..<br/><br/>The contract will run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026.<br/><br/>This is an existing contract with an existing provider
