Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has recently completed the awarding stage of a contract for Optometry Local Enhanced Services in Rotherham, with O’Brien Fey Opticians securing the contract. Classified under the CPV category 85160000 (Optician services), this procurement falls within the services category and is made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, outside the scope of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The contract runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027 and was awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The delivery will occur in Rotherham, identified as region UKE3.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in optometry services, specifically those that can deliver locally enhanced services in conjunction with General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts. The nature of this contract, focusing on interdependent service delivery, suggests that businesses with existing GOS contracts and capacity to deliver enhanced local services are best suited to compete. Companies aiming to expand their healthcare service offerings in the Rotherham area could find significant growth potential by aligning with such government healthcare initiatives.

Notice Title

Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2026/27 Rotherham - O'Brien Fey Opticians

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.
