DDCCG have reviewed existing Community Ophthalmology Services. Currently services are delivered though Enhanced Services with a range of individual providers. The CCG has worked collaboratively with its two main acute Trusts, Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS FT (CRH) and University Hospitals of Derby & Burton NHS FT (UHDB) and the Local Optical Committee to develop associated pathways, to help release capacity and better utilise existing workforce in hospital and primary care alike. The services aim to reduce inappropriate activity in Hospital Eye Services and ensure patients receive care by the most appropriate clinical service, in a timely manner, as close to home as possible. The current model of commissioning may not be the most efficient model for the delivery of services and therefore the CCG is considering alternative models, one being a singular contracted provider model.

The aim of this Expression of Interest is to; 1. Allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity; 2. To inform the CCG's decision-making process for the future commissioning of the Ophthalmology Services 3. To help refine the future commissioning and procurement approach and; 4. To gauge the level of interest from the market of capable providers with capacity to deliver maintain and strengthen services across Derbyshire as illustrated above. 5. To invite feedback from potential providers/the market on the service specifications If you wish to express an interest, please register on the EU Supply Portal. The EU supply link is https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=UK ref ID no. 48556 Once registered please complete the questions which asks providers to give details about your organisation's details and interest in providing the services.
