Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for ophthalmology services in Sefton, with the contract awarded to ISIGHT Clinic. This contract, valued at £3,551,073.55 annually, commenced on 1st April 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027. The procurement falls under the services category and specifically targets health services, as per the CPV classification 85100000. The direct award method was used, bypassing the traditional call for competition due to the specific regulations governing this regime. The service aims to provide secondary care ophthalmology treatments, including cataract surgery, glaucoma, and macular degeneration care, for patients registered with Sefton GPs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in ophthalmology. The procurement method indicates a focus on maintaining an existing high-standard service, thus suitable for providers with established capabilities in delivering similar healthcare services. While ISIGHT Clinic was successful in securing this contract, businesses looking to expand their offerings in similar geographies or service categories should monitor such procurements for potential subcontracting or future direct tendering opportunities. SMEs within the health services sector stand to benefit from participating in such procurement processes, leveraging specialised expertise and a strong local presence in the North West of England.
