Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2026/27 in Rotherham, titled "MI Eyecare". This contract, valued based on patient activity, spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, and requires a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract interdependency. The industry category for this tender is optician services, located in Rotherham. The procurement method used was a direct award without prior publication, indicating that the process did not fall under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The awarded contract is now active, following a decision made by the Primary Care Delivery Group, with no conflicts of interest identified.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those delivering optician services, as it involves providing locally enhanced services that complement existing GOS contracts. Companies such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in optometric services would be well-suited to compete for future similar tenders. The contract's flexible structure, which is based on patient activity, offers scalable revenue opportunities for providers that can effectively manage and deliver these services in alignment with NHS standards and requirements.

Notice Title

Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2026/27 Rotherham - MI Eyecare

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.
