Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) awarding a contract for consultant-led elective non-urgent ophthalmology services in Cheshire West. Under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, the contract is set to commence on 1 April 2026 and expire on 31 March 2027, with a value of £1,183,782. The procurement method is limited, with the award made without prior publication of a call for competition. The award decision was formalised on 18 November 2025 by the Finance, Investment, Resources Committee, and is now in the contract stage.

This tender presents business opportunities for firms specialising in health services, particularly large-scale operations like New Medical Systems Limited, as the contract is substantial in size and focuses on delivering expert ophthalmology care. Businesses with experience in healthcare provision and a strong service quality focus are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, especially those addressing patient-centric criteria such as patient choice. Firms interested in this sector should consider developing offerings that align with non-urgent consultant-led services, particularly in regions like Cheshire West where demand for specialised health care exists.
