Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Anglia Community Eyecare Services (ACES), effective from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The contract, governed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, has been granted to Anglia Community Eye Service Limited without a prior call for competition, using Direct Award Process B. The service will focus on routine elective secondary care in ophthalmology and diagnostics, including pre-treatment and post-discharge support, within the UKK11 and UKK12 regions. This procurement, now complete, excludes Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provisions and lacks a renewal option.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in ophthalmology and related diagnostics services. The direct award nature of the procurement indicates potential future requirements for similar services under related frameworks, presenting growth possibilities for SMEs like Anglia Community Eye Service Limited. Businesses capable of delivering quality patient-centred care, with skilled professionals in eye healthcare and diagnostics, will be well-positioned to engage in future collaborations fostered by public health authorities, facilitating expansion and service diversification in the targeted regions.
