Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This contract concerns the provision of ophthalmologist services under the Community Macular Service_CL, managed by the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board. It follows a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) with the award notice published on 10th March 2026. The tender is classified within health services and is specific to the region of Preston, UKD45. The current stage of the procurement process is the intention to award, underpinned by the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, with a standstill period allowing representations until 23rd March 2026. The service contract is designed as a cost-per-case activity with a start date of 1st April 2026 and an end date on 31st March 2027.

The procurement is conducted through a limited award procedure, indicating that the opportunity is tailored for providers already delivering services compliant with prior contracts. Businesses involved in health services, particularly those experienced in ophthalmology, may find opportunities for growth given the focus on quality, innovation, and value in provider selection. This procurement is optimal for existing providers in the market, particularly small and medium enterprises with the capacity to meet rigorous standards of service sustainability, integration, and reducing health inequalities. The contract is set to be awarded to Practice Plus Group Hospitals Limited, offering substantial prospects to demonstrate competencies in social value and improved access to healthcare services.
