NHS SYICB - Rotherham Place - Optometry Local Enhanced Services - Mobile Opticians Ltd

This procurement process, facilitated by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (SYICB), pertains to optician services under the title "NHS SYICB - Rotherham Place - Optometry Local Enhanced Services - Mobile Opticians Ltd," aimed at providing locally enhanced services for the residents of Rotherham. The contract was awarded to Mobile Opticians Ltd, with the procurement falling outside the scope of traditional directives. The procurement was completed under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without a prior publication of a call for competition, marking the process as limited.

The contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, and its value is contingent upon patient activity rather than a fixed amount. This notice confirms the award within the industry category of health care services, specifically focusing on enhancing current optometry provisions within Rotherham. For businesses targeting growth opportunities, this contract represents a sector-specific chance for optometry providers who hold a General Ophthalmic Services contract to integrate local enhanced services (LCS) with existing offerings.

The procurement encourages optometry businesses equipped with the necessary qualifications and infrastructure to cater to health services, fostering patient choice as the primary award criterion. This opportunity is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare field, particularly those situated in or able to provide services to the UKE3 region. Despite the existing provider being selected, there remains potential for providers fulfilling the specified criteria to engage in similar future contract opportunities, thus expanding their service footprint.
