UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, located at The Council House on Corporation Street, Derby, has initiated a procurement process titled "Enhanced Services - Optometry" under the special regime for light-touch services. This contract pertains to services provided by local community optometrists for glaucoma and cataract patient management within the Derby and Derbyshire region. Originally flagged in error under reference 2025/S 000-060950, the tender was subsequently reaffirmed with a new notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as of 6 October 2025. The procurement method was direct, below the threshold, hence conducted without competition. The initial contract awarded began on 1 October 2025 and will continue through to 30 September 2028, with a possibility of extension up to 2030.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity particularly suited for service providers within the optometry field, especially those specialising in community and outpatient services. The services, aimed at reducing the burden on hospital eye services and improving patient access, are expected to generate substantial business for local practices by treating patients closer to home. The contract, valued at £254,000, opens prospects for firms looking to establish or expand their offerings in the healthcare sector, with potential for service continuation and further expansion contingent upon performance reviews approaching the designated three-year term. Businesses skilled in patient-centric optometric services will find this a promising venture.
