UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the "Optometry Enhanced Services" was overseen by the NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, a public authority within central government. This procurement focuses on optometry services aimed at enhancing glaucoma and cataract patient care in the Glossop area of Derby & Derbyshire, UK. The procurement was managed under a direct method, with contracts awarded without competition due to being below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Primary Eyecare Services Limited on 30th September 2025, and services are scheduled to run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, with the possibility of a two-year extension, depending on performance evaluations. An initial mistake led to a cancellation notice on 6th October 2025, but following a review under the Provider Selection Regime, a corrected contract arrangement was confirmed.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in optometric services, particularly those experienced in handling enhanced glaucoma and cataract care processes. The services under this tender are strategically designed to lessen reliance on hospital eye services, promoting community-based patient care. Businesses focusing on eye health, especially those that demonstrate a capability to operate within community optometry practices, will find this procurement beneficial. The contract also allows for renewal, providing a stable medium-term business opportunity with the potential for extension based on performance.
