The procurement process is led by the South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, which has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Electronic Eyecare Referral System" to Monmedical Ltd (trading as Cinapsis) under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This initiative is primarily focused on enhancing digital connectivity in eye care services across the East of England, particularly benefiting regions including Cambridgeshire, North and West Essex, and North Hertfordshire. The contract, valued at £151,800, commenced on 20th April 2021, with a duration of one year and the potential for a one-year extension. This award marks the completion of a selective procurement procedure aimed at addressing critical referral management pathways in ophthalmology.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs within the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in healthcare software solutions and digital connectivity. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in developing systems that facilitate cooperation between primary and secondary healthcare providers would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. The focus on improving eye care services through enhanced connectivity could create further growth avenues for companies that offer innovative digital solutions tailored for the healthcare industry.

## Notice

NHSX have created a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to enable the rapid transformation of new referral management pathways for ophthalmology patients. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have awarded a contract for an Electronic Eyecare Referral System. This Procurement process is looking to address and improve the connectivity that links primary care optometry and the hospital eye service which is seen as key to improving eye care services in England. The ambition is to have numerous trained and well-equipped primary care optometrists with the ability to make clinical decisions based on quantitative and imaging clinical data. This will provide significant opportunities to use digital connectivity to improve eye care. NHSX considers digital solutions that increase connectivity between different providers of eye care horizontally and vertically, and across primary and secondary care, to be a key enabler for the national outpatient transformation programme. This will rapidly restore and ensure continuation of eye care services during Covid-19 and transform how services are delivered in the future. The Electronic Eyecare Referral System (EeRS) will be available to all Primary Care optometrists and optical practices, eye hospitals, trusts with eye departments and community eye services across the Cambridgeshire, North and West Essex and North Hertfordshire area. This procurement process was facilitated by the NHS England National and Commercial Procurement Hub (commissioned from the SCW CSU) on behalf of the Commissioners.
