Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust is in the process of awarding a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for outsourced ophthalmology services for the year 2026-27. This procurement, focused on ophthalmologist services, specifically dealing with macular conditions, will be conducted in Cornwall, classified under CPV code 85121281. The contract, valued at £84,000, is in the award stage and the standstill period commenced on 9th March 2026. Providers must submit representations by 12 midnight on 20th March 2026 to Dave Bray at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. The process is a limited procurement method, without the need for prior publication of a call for competition, and is subject to Health Care Services Regulation 2023, excluding provisions under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in ophthalmology, to expand their service delivery. The existing provider, St Austell Healthcare Group Limited, which is a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in St Austell, currently satisfies the contract's requirements, suggesting competition may be best suited for businesses with the capability and experience in managing similar healthcare projects. As the contract falls outside the typical regulations, it could be beneficial for organisations with niche expertise in UK healthcare regulation frameworks and service provision to engage and explore partnership potentials with NHS Trusts for future growth.
