Lot Information
Lot 1
This process will qualify providers to deliver a Low Vision Aids service to the eligible population of NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board through Kirklees Health & Care Partnership as the Contracting Authority.
Ophthalmology and optometry services are provided in both secondary and primary care by multi-skilled teams for people residing in the North Kirklees area. Low vision accreditation training is available for practitioners and widens the scope for people living with sight loss to access low vision services where appropriately supervised by community optometrists, dispensing opticians or orthoptists.
Between Sept 2023 and April 2025, the ICB has led the involvement of people with sight loss in coproducing whole system review of the Kirklees eye care pathway and making recommendations to inform commissioning, with regards living and waiting well.
People in Kirklees living with sight loss tell us that they want to talk to people who "have walked in my shoes". They want greater knowledge of and access to tec, aids and equipment than currently exist and wish to be supported to keep up with advances in tec and equipment and availability via retail in order that they can make informed choices around how to self-serve.
The service will manage patients in the community and ensure the appropriate level of care including onward referral where appropriate. The service will make available, to patients, accessible information regarding financial support for optical aids.
The questions in this procurement process are intended to cover all aspects of service provision with a view to ensuring that service provision in future continues to improve so that service users are able to access the highest standards of care.
The contract is zero value based on activity. Activity data is shared within the procurement documents.
By choosing to offer choice of providers to patients, the Contract authority offers no guarantee of activity volume.
The Contracting Authority reserves the absolute right to not agree to any price variation throughout the duration of the Contract.
