PSR Urgent Award for Provision of Ophthalmology Outpatient Services

Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the urgent provision of Ophthalmology Outpatient Services due to severe capacity issues. The contract was awarded to Modality LLP under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and is applicable outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, to address immediate risks to safety and quality of care.

The contract's value is estimated at £75,000 for the period from 10th February 2025 to 31st March 2025. The services will be delivered at various sites of Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, located in the UKF30 region. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in health care services, particularly Ophthalmology, to engage in urgent and critical service provision for the NHS.

Organisations capable of quickly mobilising to fill gaps in outpatient service capacity would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Additionally, companies with expertise in dealing with emergency health service provisions and management of acute staff shortages may find substantial growth potential in securing such contracts, especially in delivering high-quality patient care under urgent conditions.
