Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2026/27 to the Wickersley Eye Clinic located in Rotherham. This contract pertains to optician services, classified under the industry category 85160000, and involves providing enhanced services to the local population. The procurement method used was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract covers the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. It was formally signed on 3rd July 2026, marking the completion of the award stage of the procurement process. The procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, adhering instead to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender offers a promising opportunity for optometry providers with an existing General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract, looking to expand their scope by offering locally enhanced services. Business growth potential lies in the integration and enhancement of existing services, making it particularly suitable for established optometrists equipped to meet the contractual and specification criteria. The contract’s financial model, based on patient activity and aligned with the NHS Payment Scheme, suggests financial viability for businesses adept in patient-centric service delivery and management in the healthcare sector.

Notice Title

Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2026/27 Rotherham - Wickersley Eye Clinic

Notice Description

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

Lot Information

Lot 1

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.

The contract has been awarded following the direst award process B.

The value of the contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity..

The contract will run from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027.

This is an existing contract with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme.
