Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has concluded the procurement process for High Flow, Low Complexity Cataract Services, awarding the contract under a Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This tender, classified under the health services category, aimed to deliver these essential services to the Devon population. The procurement, carried out through a limited method without publication of a contract notice, pursued a direct award to maintain continuity of pre-existing services. The awarded contracts, signed on 4 October 2024, will commence from 1 December 2024 and are set for a duration of 16 months. Key providers include Spamedica, New Medical Systems Ltd, Anglia Community Eye Services, and Optimax (Ultralase), all of which are current providers of the service across various UK regions, including Exeter, Plymouth, and Newton Abbot.

This contract offers a significant growth opportunity for businesses within the ophthalmology and general health services sectors, specifically those experienced in high-volume, low-complexity procedures like cataract services. While the procurement was limited to existing providers, it underscores the value of establishing robust partnerships within the NHS framework. Enterprises equipped with the capability to deliver high-quality healthcare services across broad geographical regions, particularly in the UKK area and adjacent locales, are well-suited to engagements like this. Furthermore, the variable nature of contract values points to further opportunities for expanding service efficiency and patient volume management. Engaging in such frameworks may offer businesses not only growth in scope and scale but also the ability to forge deeper, more impactful relationships with national healthcare bodies.
