Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is procuring a community low vision clinic service under the name Sutton Vision. The requirement is for low vision services, classified as ophthalmologist services, supporting people who need assessment, advice and clinical support for sight loss. The service is associated with Sutton and is being managed by the NHS South West London Integrated Care Board. This is a healthcare service rather than a supply, construction or general consultancy opportunity. The selected provider is Sutton Vision, an established provider of the service. The requirement is focused on community-based low vision care and its delivery within the South West London health system, with the procurement covering the service as a single requirement.

The procurement has reached the award stage under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using Direct Award Process C without a prior competition. The contract was awarded to Sutton Vision and is recorded as active; the contract was signed on 11 September 2026. Its value is £56,430 over 22 months, at £30,780 per year, with the service period running from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Evaluation placed 30% on quality and innovation, 20% on integration, collaboration and service sustainability, 15% on improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice, 10% on social value and 25% on value. One bid was recorded. The process is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This award indicates established demand from the NHS South West London Integrated Care Board for a specialist community low vision service in the Sutton area. A future competitor would need credible ophthalmic and low vision clinical capability, with the capacity to provide a sustained community service for people with sight loss. The evaluation shows that clinical quality and innovation matter, but so do integration with other services, collaboration, long-term service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Providers well placed to compete would therefore be able to demonstrate effective partnership working across the local health system, practical approaches to reaching underserved patients, reliable service delivery and meaningful community benefit, alongside a cost-effective operating model for this type of NHS service.
