Summary of the contracting process

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has announced the intention to award a contract for a Community Post Cataract and Glaucoma Ophthalmology Service. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services category and is intended to provide follow-up care in various community settings across Cheshire for patients who have undergone cataract, glaucoma, or bilateral procedures. The contract was processed through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) with regulations different from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award procedure bypassed prior publication of a call for competition due to the directive's scope exclusions. Interested parties had until midnight on 26th March 2026 to make representations to the relevant authority. Although the procurement status is marked as completed, the contract prompted an active award to Primary Eyecare Services Limited, valued at £145,000.

This tender offers significant business opportunities for those in the healthcare services sector, particularly businesses specialising in ophthalmology and patient care services post-surgery. The awarded contract underscores a focus on local provision and community accessibility, making it ideal for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Primary Eyecare Services Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate growth by expanding service offerings and establishing local partnerships in the UKD6 region. The use of a limited procurement method highlights the suitability for businesses with established credentials in complying with PSR requirements.
