Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has published a contract modification notice for Minor Eye Care Services in Rotherham under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This procurement involves extending the services of the current provider, Connect Healthcare Rotherham CIC, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, with a three-month break clause. The contract extension, valued at £264,000, falls within the health care services category, specifically ophthalmologist services.
Due to financial constraints, the Integrated Care Board has decided to proceed with this modification to ensure the continuity of services while working towards a regional solution for Community Eye Care. This contract extension presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ophthalmology and health care services, particularly those capable of offering integrated digital platforms for patient referrals. Companies with expertise in primary care services and digital health solutions would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities, offering the potential for stable business growth over the two-year period.
Collaboration with the NHS South Yorkshire ICB would also position businesses to contribute to and benefit from the ongoing development of a regional service specification for Community Eye Care.
It was the intention that a Single Point of access using a digital platform, which also presents the option of onward referral including other services traditionally delivered in Primary Care would be procured from 1 April 2025 on a SY wide basis. However, due to financial pressures within the ICB and therefore unable to progress through a route for investment for the planning round 2025/26, places have no alternative but to procure services locally until this is resolved.<br/>Considering the circumstances and the timescales of undertaking a full procurement a Modification notice is required to allow for this work to be undertaken.<br/>All places have agreed to work collaboratively to progress this in developing a SY ICB service specification for Community Eye Care alongside progressing the SPA option.<br/><br/>The modification will be an extension of current services with the existing provider. The proposed length of the contract will be for additional 24 months with a 3 month break clause and will commence on 1 April 2025 and end on 31 March 2027. The additional value of the contract based on the indicative contract budget will be PS264,000.<br/><br/>The contact is activity based and has always remained well within the contract budget value.
