This contract, classified under the services category, involves community optometry services aimed at reducing pressure on hospital eye services through local provisions such as the Glaucoma Repeat Readings and Enhanced Cataract Services. The contract has been formally awarded as of 1st November 2025 for an initial three-year period, with the potential for a two-year extension. The procurement process employed a limited method without prior publication, in line with the Healthcare Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023.
