Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of an Optometry Service, managed by the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, falls under the Health Services category. The trust, located in Manchester, United Kingdom, has been overseeing a direct award process for this service under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The most recent update to this tender was made on 2nd July 2026, indicating a confirmed contract award status. This procurement follows a limited procedure, specifically executed without the prior publication of a call for competition due to it falling outside the scope of the directive. The contract, which has been active since 1st April 2026, has been awarded to F Stott Healthcare.

This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those with a focus on optometry, to engage with public sector contracts. The nature of the direct award and emphasis on pre-established supplier relationships suggest that businesses with existing service delivery in the healthcare domain, specifically large-scale providers similar to F Stott Healthcare, are well-suited to this type of procurement. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate business growth through increased market presence and the potential for long-term collaboration with the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
