## Summary

The Southwark CCG is currently undertaking a tender process for the "PRJ 740 SEL CCGs Community Ophthalmology Service," aimed at enhancing eye care pathways across South East London. This initiative, which falls under the health and social work services category, entails a contract valued at approximately £4.78 million GBP over a potential five-year period, beginning from July 1, 2019, and concluding on June 30, 2022, with an option for extension. The tender is active and will close on January 20, 2019, at 23:59:59, following an open procurement method to encourage competitive bidding.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in community ophthalmology and optometry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-placed to compete, especially those that can deliver the Minor Eye Conditions Scheme (MECS) effectively. Businesses with capabilities in managing comprehensive ophthalmic services, including optometrist triage and the coordination of service provision among multiple CCGs, would find this tender particularly relevant.

## Notice

Southwark CCG is issuing this tender on behalf of five CCGs; Bromley CCG, Greenwich CCG, Lambeth CCG, Lewisham CCG and Southwark CCG. The five CCGs wish to commission a Community Ophthalmology Service incorporating: Minor Eye Conditions Scheme (MECS); Single Provider Model and Optometrist Triage Service for their patients. The Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) will provide a timely and effective assessment of the needs of a patient presenting with an eye condition. The assessment will be undertaken by an accredited optometrist within suitably equipped premises who will manage the patient appropriately and safely. The Single Provider Model will involve a 'Lead Provider' being responsible for sub-contracting with and management of MECS optometry practices. The Optometrist Triage Service will clinically triage all routine referrals to hospital eye services to ensure patients are directed to most appropriate service, namely MECS or appropriate sub-specialty clinic within hospital eye services. The aim of the service is to improve eye care pathways within South East London and ensure patients get timely and appropriate access to eye care We anticipate that the maximum value over a 3-year contract period with an option to extend to a further 2 years beyond the initial contracted duration is PS4.78 million GBP. This will be subject to satisfactory performance and by mutual agreement between the Commissioners and the Provider. The procurement will be advertised via OJEU and Contract Finder.
