Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (SY ICB) recently updated the contract for the Community Ophthalmology Service in Barnsley. This contract, under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, was initially awarded to Primary Care Sheffield, indicating an active procurement stage as of February 2026. The contract focuses on ophthalmologist services, specifically pre-cataract referral, post-operative assessment, and minor eye care service, with a contract period extending from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Situated in the UKE3 region, this contract benefits the local community, particularly in Barnsley, with a total value of £315,000 GBP for the upcoming term. Key decision-makers involved in the contract modification include SY ICB's Transformation Manager, Assistant Director of Transformation, and Head of Transformation.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in ophthalmology services and digital health platforms, particularly those capable of providing community-based eye care solutions. The current procurement approach, based on activity and a previously agreed contract budget, demonstrates SY ICB's commitment to maintaining high-quality services amidst financial pressures. SMEs with expertise in delivering ophthalmologist services and innovative digital platforms will find this tender particularly fitting, as SY ICB plans to incorporate an expanded service specification leveraging Single Point of Access options in future planning cycles. Collaborations with the Integrated Care Board will undoubtedly enhance the potential for network growth and regional service integration, benefiting both service providers and the local populace.

However, due to financial pressures within the ICB and therefore unable to progress through a route for investment for the planning round 2025/26, places have no alternative but to procure services locally until this is resolved.<br/>Considering the circumstances and the timescales of undertaking a full procurement a Modification notice for initially a 6-month period is required to allow for this work to be undertaken.<br/>All places have agreed to work collaboratively to progress this in developing a SY ICB service specification for Community Eye Care alongside progressing the SPA option."
