Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board commissioned a multidisciplinary ophthalmology service for adults aged 18 and over who are registered with a GP practice in West and North London. The service is led by a consultant ophthalmologist with a specialist interest, with patients seen by accredited clinicians working under, and with direct access to, the consultant. This is an elective healthcare service within the health services category, including ophthalmologist services. Delivery is across the geographical area of West and North London. The requirement concerns an existing service and is intended to provide patient access to consultant-led ophthalmology assessment and care through an established clinical model.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Evolutio Care Innovations Limited by direct award under Process B of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award date was 2 July 2026 and the contract is active. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with no extension option, and is valued at £1,018,488 excluding VAT. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, weighted at 100%; price was not assessed because payment uses locally agreed prices adjusted in line with prevailing NHS Payment Scheme arrangements, including in-year amendments. The award followed a procedure without prior publication of a competition notice.

This outcome indicates established demand for consultant-led ophthalmology delivered through a multidisciplinary model in West and North London. A credible future competitor would need access to a consultant ophthalmologist with the relevant specialist interest, accredited clinicians, and systems that support direct consultant access and coordinated patient care. Providers should also understand the needs of adults using elective ophthalmology services and be able to operate across the specified geographical area. The procurement was assessed on patient choice rather than price, so competing organisations would need to demonstrate how their service supports meaningful patient choice and delivers a strong patient pathway. Experience delivering an existing NHS healthcare service under the Provider Selection Regime would be relevant to this buyer and requirement.
