Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Community Ophthalmology Services under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, with Alpha Health Group being the selected supplier. The procurement was conducted as a limited process without prior publication, falling outside the typical directive scope, and aimed at ensuring no realistic alternative provider was available. The contracted services, identified under the CPV code 85121281, will mainly be targeted towards patients associated with a HIOW GP, beginning on the 1st of June 2025 and concluding on the 31st of May 2026, covering the UKJ3 region. Key board approvals for this contract were secured between February and May 2025.

This procurement presents a significant business growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those specialising in healthcare services. With the exclusive provision of ophthalmology services, companies with strengths in ophthalmology and integrated care can leverage this contract to establish a foothold or expand their presence in the healthcare sector. The absence of alternative options highlights the strategic importance of such services, while Alpha Health Group's role signifies a potential model for similar providers seeking to engage in direct award procedures within the healthcare industry.
