Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process outlined in this document details a contract awarded by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board for optometry local enhanced services in Rotherham. Entitled "NHS SYICB - Rotherham Place - Optometry Local Enhanced Services - Mediceye Ltd T/A Ian Van Hoof Opticians," the contract falls under the health industry category, specifically targeting optician services. The contract has reached the award stage and was confirmed on 1st April 2025, with a completion date set for 31st March 2026.
The procurement method utilised was a limited, direct award without prior publication of a call for competition under the Provider Selection Regime, in alignment with the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This tender represents a significant opportunity for qualified optometrists, particularly those with existing General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts, to contribute to enhanced health services within the community. While the contract has been directly awarded, it highlights the need for optometry providers who can integrate enhanced services with existing GOS contracts.
Businesses specialising in the healthcare sector, especially SMEs like Ian Van Hoof Opticians, are well-suited to engage and expand their service offerings within this framework, leveraging patient-driven activity to determine contract value and fostering business growth through tailored healthcare services.
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 direct award process B.<br/><br/>The lifetime 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 service with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown as it is based on patient activity.
