Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust procured ophthalmology insourcing services for patients requiring glaucoma and orthoptics care. The scope covers treatment for 3,000 glaucoma patients and 1,200 orthoptics patients, under the medical hospital services category. The work is associated with the Trust in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and concerns the delivery of clinical capacity within ophthalmology rather than the supply of medical goods or construction works. This requirement would suit providers able to supply specialist ophthalmology teams and operational support for a substantial patient caseload. The selected supplier, ID Medical Group Limited, is an SME based in Milton Keynes. The procurement was made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Trust used a limited procedure based on a framework agreement, with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition. ID Medical Group Limited was awarded the single lot on 4 August 2026 for £397,392. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. The stated service period covers the ophthalmology insourcing requirement for 3,000 glaucoma and 1,200 orthoptics patients. Evaluation considered the ability to provide the required service, service fees and timescales, and cost effectiveness; the lot’s stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded, with the lowest and highest valid bid both £397,392.

This award shows demand from an NHS foundation trust for outsourced ophthalmology capacity covering both glaucoma and orthoptics, with sufficient scale to support thousands of patient episodes. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide the required clinical service, mobilise appropriate ophthalmology resources, and manage delivery timescales for a defined patient backlog. Commercial competitiveness is important: the recorded evaluation focused on price alongside service capability, fees and timescales, and the sole valid bid set the awarded price. Providers should therefore be able to evidence cost-effective delivery, dependable operational capacity and experience handling substantial ophthalmology caseloads within an NHS service environment. The framework-based route also indicates that access to a suitable framework may be commercially significant.
