NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide an Ophthalmology- Referral Triage Service The service provides an electronic entry point into eye care services, using technology to integrate ophthalmology services across primary, community and secondary care, whilst promoting an efficient and clinically effective eye care service. This service is the central point for eye care referrals, with clinicians using this platform to triage and review referrals that will instruct onward care. This ophthalmology referral platform is capable of receiving diagnostic imaging, including OCT, that can be manipulated on review and stored in accordance with the Department of Health-Records Management NHS Code of Practice 2006. Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates. The Commissioner is directly awarding a contract to the existing provider Evolutio Care Innovations Limited under PSR Direct Award C in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (9) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The total expected value of the contract for the initial one-year contract term is PS150,000. The optional one-year extension expected value of the contract is PS150,000. Therefore, the full expected lifetime contract value (one year + optional one year extension) is PS300,000. For the avoidance of doubt, this contract is paid on a cost per case basis and therefore the values indicated are the expected values only. The one-year contract period will commence on the 3 January 2025. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: Evidence that Evolutio Care Innovations Limited have satisfied the existing contract to a sufficient standard according to the detail outlined in the contract: they provided all of the required documentation, information and policies for the existing contract. They have followed the contractual service specification, not deviated from Frimley ICB Safeguarding requirements, charged the correct local prices as per the contract, issued invoices correctly in accordance with the Frimley ICB process, complied with Quality reporting requirements, and followed Schedule 6A reporting requirements. They have complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable NHS Standard Contract (Shorter Form) Service Conditions, including Service Conditions in relation to the following: service standards, co-operation, information requirements, safeguarding, payment terms and quality requirements. They have also complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable shorter Form General Conditions, including those relating to liability & indemnity, assignment & sub-contracting, and Information Governance. The new contracting arrangements are based on a rollover of the previous contracting arrangements/schedules which the provider has already satisfied/complied with to a high standard, and so the provider will highly be likely to be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.
