Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board plans to award a contract under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023 for the delivery of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Services. This procurement, which has recently reached the award stage as of 20th March 2026, is intended to serve the Cheshire Places and NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board areas. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and run until 31st March 2029, with a total value of £9,736,254. The procurement process employs a limited method, bypassing the conventional public call for competition due to its specific focus and legal provisions localized by the 2023 regulations. Providers are encouraged to submit representations to Sarah Kent at the buyer organisation within eight working days from the notice date.

This tender represents significant business opportunities for those experienced in providing health services, particularly in ophthalmology. It is best suited for companies with the capacity to deliver high-quality health services while improving patient access and reducing health disparities. The contract's performance metrics include integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, making it ideal for firms that can demonstrate innovation and an ability to maintain service standards that align with the contract’s high-quality requirements. Eye Care Medical Limited, being an existing supplier, is positioned well but firms offering competitive quality and value propositions may also find this tender appealing for strategic growth in the healthcare sector.
