UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement process for enhanced optometry services, specifically under the Community Urgent and Minor Eye Service initiative in the Glossop area. This procurement, titled "Enhanced Services - Optometry," falls within the healthcare industry category and is located in the United Kingdom region UKF11. Although the original procurement notice was cancelled due to an error, a new notice was published under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) on 6 October 2025. The procurement process is complete, having awarded the contract through a direct award method, without competition. The awarded contract commenced on 1 October 2025, with a completion date projected for 30 September 2026, yet it has the potential to extend until 31 March 2027.

This tender represents significant opportunities for service providers in optometry, particularly those focusing on minor eye condition services. The contract has been awarded to Primary Eyecare Services Limited, suggesting that businesses with innovative solutions in community-based healthcare services, especially SMEs, are well-positioned to compete. The initiative aligns with the NHS's goal to deliver care closer to home, reducing pressure on hospital eye services and general practices. Providers offering flexible, community-focused eye care services can leverage this continuity of service to expand their market footprint and contribute to the NHS's long-term strategic objectives.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Enhanced Services - Optometry

Notice Description

Community Urgent and Minor Eye Service: Enables patients to self-refer to an Community Optometrist of choice in the Glossop area when they have a minor eye condition. Service provides care to approximately 1,700 patients for a range of minor eye conditions and has the ability to refer directly into Hospital Eye Services if clinically indicated. It reduces the burden on General Practice, Hospital Eye Services and provides care closer to home for patients. In line with recently announced clustering of ICBs (Derby & Derbyshire, Nottingham & Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire) service continuity is required. The process is in alignment with the NHS 10 Year Plan which has a focus on providing more care outside of hospitals.
