The procurement process, classified under community health services, is currently in the tender stage. Interested parties have until December 12, 2022, to submit their proposals. The contract is valued at £1,482,208 GBP and is expected to run from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026. This tender from NHS Sheffield CCG presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector to expand their service offerings.

The contract's focus on community-based care and cost-effective delivery aligns with the current trend towards decentralised healthcare provision, offering a strategic growth opportunity for suitable providers. ## Notice The demand for eye care is set to increase as the population ages which will result in a rise in costs and the need for more efficient and effective services to be provided. Although the majority of sight loss is preventable or ameliorable, as prevalence increases with age there will be an increase in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and in patients diagnosed with macular hypertension (OHT) or glaucoma. Some estimates suggest that upwards of 20% of out-patient ophthalmology referrals could be treated in the community. NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board Sheffield Place (SYICB Sheffield) is committed to the provision of high quality, dedicated and professional ophthalmology services for patients with eye conditions, centred on clinical assessment and treatment via the most clinically appropriate management pathway.
