Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (NHS SWL ICB) is overseeing the procurement of ophthalmology services across the South West London area, which encompasses the boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Merton, Wandsworth, Sutton, and Croydon. This procurement process, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, involves two distinct service lots: Lot 1 for a Community Eyecare Service to address minor eyecare needs within primary care settings and Lot 2 for a Secondary Care Single Point of Referral Management System. The tender update was published on 10 March 2026, with a contract awarded on 12 February 2026 for Lot 2 worth £2,100,000. Both service lots originally intended contracts to run from 1 April 2026 for five years, with possible extensions until 2033.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in ophthalmology services. Providers with expertise in community-based eyecare and referral management systems are particularly well-suited to benefit from these contracts. The open procedure procurement method invites bids from entities that can demonstrate quality, value, and innovative practices in healthcare service delivery. Engaging in this competitive tender process can enhance business visibility and establish long-term partnerships with the NHS, contributing to service integration and sustainability efforts across South West London. Businesses interested in delivering such services can leverage the opportunities presented through NHS SWL ICB's strategic procurement initiatives.
