## Notice

North East London (NEL) Integrated Care System (ICS) is looking to procure an optometry led minor eye condition and related services across its seven places (Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge, Newham, Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and City and Hackney). The services need to be able to provide fast access, diagnosis and treatment for a wide variety of minor eye conditions as well as be able to identify conditions for escalation to urgent care and secondary care specialist services. They need to be located in the communities, close to GP practices or near hospital providers to provide residents with easy access to early treatment and avoid unnecessary GP and urgent care attendances. These types of services are being provided across NEL at present by several different providers and this procurement is to enable equitable access for patients and improve the overall quality and offer they are able to receive. Ideally, we are looking for one managing provider to identify suitable established partners (mostly optical practices) in the community to provide the service to patients covering all NEL places. The service specification provides details of what will need to be delivered and we welcome providers who can demonstrate suitable experience of delivering similar services in the community that are both effective and of high quality.
