Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has awarded the "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26" to Portland Optical Group. This contract focuses on optician services, under the industry category corresponding to CPV code 85160000, and is aimed at delivering locally enhanced services for the Rotherham, South Yorkshire region. The procurement process reached the 'Award' stage, where the decision followed the Provider Selection Regime without the need for publication of a call for competition. The contract is set to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, managed by the Director of Partnerships/Deputy Place Director at Rotherham Place, with no identified conflicts of interest during the awarding process.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for optometry service providers capable of delivering locally enhanced services alongside the General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract. Given the nature of the service as a specialised one, businesses currently holding a GOS contract and capable of enhancing these services will find this opportunity particularly appealing. Although the contract value is influenced by patient activity and not strictly defined, the venture allows for expansion in service delivery within a dynamic and essential aspect of healthcare provision, benefiting not only businesses with existing expertise but also fostering long-term partnerships within the health care sector.

Notice Title

NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26 - Portland Optical Group

Notice Description

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

Lot Information

Lot 1

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.

The contract has been awarded following the direst award process B.

The value of the contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity..

The contract will run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026.

This is an existing contract with an existing provider.

Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
