These services were established through individual contracts between existing providers and the former CCGs. West Lancashire currently do not have a Tier 1 Ophthalmology service commissioned within their geography so this will be an additional provision.

This will improve access for patient care, deliver care closer to home and overall provide an excellent patient experience whilst delivering a cost-effective service. As part of the procurement process, the authority has identified one provider to deliver a Tier 1 Ophthalmology Service across the whole Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB. The contract will be for 3 years starting from 1 October 2024 with a possible 2-year extension. The estimated contract value per annum is PS3,261,000.
