Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust awarding a contract to Eyecare Mobile Opticians Ltd for providing ophthalmology services at HMP Birmingham under urgent circumstances. This contract, covering the period from 1 November 2025 to 30 April 2026, is valued at £20,992.50 excluding VAT. The procurement method utilised was a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The decision was made by key figures within the Trust, including the Deputy Divisional Director, Divisional Finance Manager, and Head of Procurement, to ensure no disruption to ongoing services given Eyecare Mobile Opticians Ltd's established position as the current provider.

This tender offers a growth opportunity primarily for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in ophthalmology services. It represents a strategic avenue for other similar SMEs to understand market dynamics and position themselves as capable service providers in future competitive procurement processes. As the procurement has been completed under the urgency provision, businesses with flexible operational capabilities and a proven record in similar services will be well-suited to anticipate and compete in the ongoing Provider Selection Regime review to explore new market territories.
