Summary, notice description and lot information
The public procurement process for Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2025/26 has been completed by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, with the contract awarded to Yorkshire Eye Company Limited, trading as Moorhouse Opticians. The procurement follows the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and was conducted through a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition. The main industry category is optician services, targeting the Rotherham area, with the contract valued based on patient activity.
The contract period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This process was a direct award made by the Primary Care Delivery Group, and no conflicts of interest were identified. This tender provides substantial opportunities for optometry service providers possessing a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract, as the services are designed to enhance the GOS arrangements.
Businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those focused on optometric services, could enhance their service offering in the Rotherham region through this contract. The awarded contract necessitates deliverance alongside existing services, thereby ensuring an integrated approach to healthcare. This is a bespoke opportunity for established providers within the field with relevant capabilities to expand their service reach and leverage the flexible payment structures based on delivered activity under the NHS Payment Scheme.
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. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme."
