Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Community Ophthalmology Services has been completed by the NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board (ICB). This award, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, follows a direct award without prior competition, specifically designed for patient choice services. The awarded contract involves services classified under the CPV code 85121281, focussing on ophthalmologist services within the region of Shropshire. The procurement was conducted through a limited method and the awarded contract was signed on 19th March 2025. The successful supplier, Community Health and Eyecare Ltd (CHEC), will commence service provision from 1st July 2025 with an initial contract term of three years and the possibility of a two-year extension.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large healthcare service providers specialising in community-based ophthalmic care. The focus on decentralised eyecare provision is likely to appeal to firms capable of delivering specialist out-of-hospital care, aimed at improving patient access and reducing dependency on acute care facilities. Service providers with expertise in integrating primary and community services and managing local healthcare economies are well-suited to meet the tender requirements. Additionally, businesses already familiar with NHS contracts and local tariff structures in the Shropshire region may find this opportunity aligns well with their strategic objectives for expansion in the healthcare sector.
