Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has issued a contract modification notice for the Ophthalmology Service, specifically focused on an Eye Clinic and an Information & Advice Service in Lancashire. This modification extends the existing contract by six months from 01 April 2024 to 30 September 2024. The procurement falls under the "health services" category (CPV code 85100000) and is regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, not by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract's total value is £127,950, and it has been awarded to Galloways Society for the Blind, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Preston, UKD4 (Lancashire). The modification was necessitated by urgent circumstances delaying the new contract award.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with a focus on ophthalmology or community health initiatives. SMEs in the healthcare sector, especially those experienced in delivering eye care and support services, are well-positioned to compete for such contracts. Engaging in this procurement process can lead to a sustained partnership with NHS ICBs and open doors to future tenders in similar or expanded healthcare services.
