Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board procured elective healthcare services covering ophthalmology, dermatology and ear, nose and throat (ENT). The services are for patients across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with delivery spanning Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and the surrounding NHS service areas represented by the buyer’s listed locations. This is an existing service delivered by an existing provider, rather than a new service specification. The requirement is activity based, so the supplier provides clinical capacity and treatment activity in the three specialties. The buyer is the integrated care board responsible for commissioning these healthcare services. The procurement sits within the health services category and is relevant to providers with established capability to deliver elective ophthalmology, dermatology and ENT services for NHS patients across the local area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 July 2026 to Community Eye Healthcare (CHEC), under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract is active and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its recorded contract value is £1. The award followed Direct Award Process B, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The decision was made under emergency powers by the Chief Executive on behalf of the Joint Commissioning Executive Group; the buyer reported that no conflicts of interest were identified. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, with value given no weighting. One bid was recorded. The contract includes options in line with the Provider Selection Regime regulations.

This award shows that the buyer purchases combined elective capacity across ophthalmology, dermatology and ENT, and that the requirement is delivered through an established local service rather than a start-up arrangement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable clinical capability across all three specialties, the organisational capacity to handle activity-based commissioning, and experience delivering elective healthcare for NHS patients across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The evaluation emphasis on patient choice indicates that patient access and the ability to support meaningful choice would be central to a competing proposition. Providers should also be able to operate within the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and demonstrate the infrastructure, workforce and service continuity needed for an existing provider arrangement.
