## Summary

The North of England Commissioning Support has awarded a contract for the "North of Tyne and Gateshead Diabetic Eye Screening Programme," aimed at providing essential eye screening services to the North of Tyne and Gateshead population. The procurement process, classified under health and social work services, employed a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the urgent need arising from COVID-19 pressures. The contract, valued at £2,678,620, commenced on 1st April 2021 and will run until 31st March 2023. While the tender period ended on 31st January 2021, further procurement opportunities may arise based on ongoing consultations and future processes will be announced via official channels.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, especially those specialising in eye care technologies, screening services, or related healthcare provision. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete in upcoming tender processes aimed at enhancing screening capabilities and tackling diabetic-related eye health issues. Engaging in this sector not only supports public health objectives but can also lead to substantial business growth through expanded service contracts and collaborations with health authorities.

## Notice

The contracting authority intends to undertake a procurement process following the direct award in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) depending upon the outcome of current procurement consultation.
