Notice Information

Notice Title

NHS Barnsley CCG : Minor Eye Conditions Service

Notice Description

The five year vision in Barnsley CCGs Strategic Commissioning Plan states that there will be 'wider primary care provided at scale'. Giving people the option of being able to access eye care in a timely manner in a more accessible location will ensure that this is the case. Since 2015 Barnsley CCG has commissioned a Minor Eye Condition Service (MECS) titled PEARS (Primary Eyecare Assessment and Referral Service). The aim of the Optometry First Scheme is to build on and expand the existing PEARS service into a more encompasssing minor eye conditions service. Over 60% of CCGs have commissioned a MECS. Evaluation of the more established services demonstrates that there are significant benefits including: A more local service for patients, including a choice of provider and an option to use services during extended hours on weekdays or at weekends More than 80% of patients with a minor eye condition being managed by community optometrists; and with a consequent release in capacity from other services. Where referral to secondary care is required (usually in 14% - 18% of patients), this will be via direct referral by the optometrist, to a suitable specialist with appropriate work up, initial diagnosis and urgency In summary, an "Optometry First" MECS, would make a significant contribution towards relieving the unprecedented pressure ophthalmology services are facing as well as freeing up GP surgery time to focus on managing complex patients with long term conditions. The Contract duration is for 2 years with option to extend for a further 12 months The tender closes on the 21st May 2018 at 12:00 Noon. The Authority is using the BravoSolutions e-tendering portal to conduct the procurement process ("the e-Tendering Portal"). The e-Tendering Portal can be accessed www.nhssourcing.co.uk. All communications (including submission of Tenders) should be carried out via the e-Tendering Portal.
