Summary of the contracting process

NHS Frimley ICB, situated in Windsor, has awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime 2023 to Community Health and Eyecare Ltd for Glaucoma services. This initiative is aimed at addressing the needs of the ageing population, ensuring quality and safety while allowing patients to select providers suited to their requirements. This procurement process, completed without prior publication of a call for competition, was facilitated by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit. The contract, set to commence on 1st April 2025, will run for an initial period of three years, with an optional one-year extension. This process falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically classified as health services, targeting regional demand in the UKJ area.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities in the healthcare sector, especially for large-scale service providers capable of delivering high-quality, patient-focused ophthalmology services in accordance with NICE Guidance and best practices. Firms specialised in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in dealing with diverse patient needs and compliance with regulatory frameworks, would be well-prepared to thrive under such contractual conditions. The direct award procedure highlights opportunities for well-established providers with robust quality and safety standards to secure contracts without the conventional competitive bidding process.
