Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community-based Stable Glaucoma Monitoring Service in the Surrey Downs area. The service provides programmed monitoring and ongoing care for patients with diagnosed and treated ocular hypertension and stable glaucoma. Delivery is led by clinicians and accredited optometrists, with care provided in community settings rather than solely through hospital ophthalmology services. The requirement falls within ophthalmology services and is paid according to activity. The model is intended to support continuity of care, improve access closer to patients’ homes and reduce pressure on acute hospital outpatient services. It includes clinical oversight and monitoring at planned intervals, supporting patients whose condition is stable and does not require the same level of hospital-based care as complex or progressive glaucoma.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. Epsomedical Limited was selected on 12 May 2026 for a contract valued at £25,500. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and is active. The award related to a single requirement, with one bid recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality: the existing provider’s satisfactory performance and likelihood of continuing to meet the proposed contract standard accounted for 100%; cost carried no weighting. The authority considered quality and innovation, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, value, and social value under the Provider Selection Regime criteria.

This requirement suits community eye-care providers able to deliver stable glaucoma and ocular hypertension monitoring safely at scale. A credible competitor would need suitably accredited optometrists and clinicians, with ongoing professional development and appropriate clinical oversight, including access to a GP with a special interest, accredited medic or consultant ophthalmologist. Strong clinical governance is important, including compliance with Local Quality Requirements, Royal College standards, General Optical Council registration and the NHS England performers list. The selected model demonstrates the value of advanced diagnostic capability, structured patient pathways, reliable follow-up and activity-based delivery. Suppliers should also be able to integrate with primary, community and secondary care, work with local optical and NHS partners, support workforce development, gather patient feedback, provide flexible community access and demonstrate benefits for hospital capacity, sustainability and local employment.
