Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process for the provision of an "Optometry Practice Enhanced Service" designed to deliver an enhanced range of optometric services within Derby and Derbyshire. The focus is on services extending beyond General Ophthalmic Services to cover conditions such as cataracts and low vision. This contract involves multiple small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and covers various opticians within the region. The contract was awarded on 8th April 2025 and will run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, with a potential maximum extension up to 30th September 2030. This procurement process is below the threshold of significant value and follows a 'light touch' regime.

This tender provides a strategic opportunity for local optometry practices, particularly SMEs, to expand their service offerings and reach within the primary care sector. With services focusing on keeping patient care local and reducing referrals to secondary services, businesses providing optometry services such as telemedicine and children’s vision screening are well-suited to participate. This opportunity not only supports business growth but also aligns with the NHS's ten-year plan to enhance care accessibility. The engagement of diverse suppliers fosters a competitive environment, encouraging innovation and quality service delivery within the healthcare industry.
