Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Surrey and Sussex Integrated Care Board commissioned a community-based Stable Glaucoma Monitoring Service for the Surrey Downs area. The service provides ongoing monitoring and care for patients with diagnosed and treated ocular hypertension and stable glaucoma at programmed intervals. Clinicians and accredited optometrists deliver the care, with clinical oversight from appropriately accredited ophthalmology professionals. The model includes structured patient pathways, regular reviews, optical coherence tomography where clinically indicated, and links with acute ophthalmology services. It is intended to complement higher-level ophthalmology services and primary care optometry, helping suitable patients receive specialist eye care in community settings rather than hospital outpatient services. The procurement is classified as ophthalmologist services and is paid on an activity basis.

The contract has been awarded to Dorking Healthcare Limited by direct award process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award was made on 12 May 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £37,498.93. The contracted service period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. It was evaluated entirely on quality: the existing provider’s ability to continue satisfying the requirement counted for 100%, while cost counted for 0%. The process contains one lot, recorded as cancelled, although the related award is active and the contract has been formally awarded.

This procurement indicates demand for community ophthalmology providers able to monitor stable glaucoma and treated ocular hypertension safely, consistently and at programmed intervals. A credible future competitor would need accredited optometrists and a clinically accredited GP with special interest or consultant ophthalmologist, supported by robust clinical governance. Evidence of practitioner revalidation or continuing professional development, structured four-visit pathways, timely follow-up and quality reporting would be important. Relevant capability also includes optical coherence tomography where clinically appropriate, integrated information technology, patient feedback, and effective collaboration with GPs, primary care optometry, the Local Optical Committee and the integrated care system. Providers should demonstrate local, accessible delivery, support for underserved patients, links with acute ophthalmology, workforce development and lower reliance on hospital services.
