Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board has completed the tendering process for the "Enhanced Services - Optometry" project, specifically targeting health services in Glossop. 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. The total contract value stands at £26,800, with services set to be provided by Primary Eyecare Services, a Manchester-based SME.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises capable of delivering optometry services within the community sector. Businesses offering innovative healthcare solutions that can enhance patient outcomes and ease the burden on hospital services are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Given the focus on localised health services, firms with strong regional ties, experience in health service integration, and a commitment to social value and equality could find this an attractive opportunity, especially considering the option for contract extension, ensuring continuity and sustained market engagement.
