This reissued tender replaces a previous one and is crucial for improving the delivery model for optometric services, particularly in managing minor eye conditions and post-operative assessments for cataracts. The tender period is set to close on 4th June 2018 at 12:00 Noon, with the contract expected to commence on 1st October 2018 and run for two years, with a possibility for a 12-month extension. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in optometry and eye care. Companies that can provide comprehensive service delivery models and are capable of forming partnerships or consortia with local optometrists will be well-positioned to compete. The scope of this procurement encourages innovative service delivery methods and aims to ensure timely access to care, making it an attractive venture for those looking to expand their service offerings in the health sector. ## Notice This is a reissued tender offer which completely replaces tender 'itt_4405 - NHS Barnsley CCG: Minor Eye Conditions Service' which is now closed. The new tender reference 'itt_4442 - NHS Barnsley CCG : Minor Eye Conditions Service' reflects a number of changes to the specifications, financial schedule, and questions for bidders. These include: The Optometry First Minor Eye Condition Specification has been amended to more clearly reflect the delivery model required by NHS Barnsley CCG. The Pre and Post-Operative Cataracts Specification has been updated to more accurately reflect the post-operative elements of the service delivery. The bidder question with regard to structure and organisation of the service has been amended to allow bidders the opportunity to more clearly describe how they will deliver the service. The five year vision in Barnsley CCGs Strategic Commissioning Plan states that there will be 'wider primary care provided at scale'. Giving people the option of being able to access eye care in a timely manner in a more accessible location will ensure that this is the case. In developing this Optometry First Service it is our intention to offer a single contract to an overarching organisation that will enter into a consortium with, or subcontract to, existing local primary care optometrists to assess, manage and prioritise patients presenting with a minor eye condition, as well as manage pre and post-operative cataracts assessment and follow up. The provider will for relationships with or sub-contract with, to ensure the accreditation and governance of sufficient local optometrists to manage delivery of the Minor Eye Condition service, the pre and post-operative Cataracts assessment and follow up Service, and other services that may be added during the term of the contract.
