Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is procuring a Community Ophthalmology Service through a competitive process governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. The tender process is currently active, with key dates including a submission deadline of 17th April 2026. The service is valued at £4,618,360 and aims to commence operation from 1st October 2026, serving the UKF1 region. Interested providers should prepare for electronic submissions, with the procurement being conducted via an open procedure. This tender represents an opportunity within the health services industry to deliver community-based ophthalmology services, following the Commissioner's specification.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth for organisations specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in community ophthalmology. There is a significant demand for services such as clinical triage, assessment, treatment, glaucoma management, and cataract post-operative care. Ideal candidates would be health service providers with experience and enhanced qualifications in ophthalmology, capable of delivering community-based care to prevent unnecessary secondary care referrals. Businesses positioned to innovate and provide comprehensive ophthalmology services will find this tender an attractive opportunity, offering a three-year contract with possible extensions, facilitating both stability and long-term growth. Additionally, participation in a Market Engagement Event was offered earlier to aid providers in preparing for future tender opportunities.
