The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 1st April 2019. The activities will take place across locations in Yorkshire and the Humber, specifically at York Hospital, Scarborough Hospital, and Bridlington Hospital. The procurement method involves tendering for a framework of providers to support the Trust in meeting capacity constraints for ophthalmology procedures. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in ophthalmology. Companies that can provide a comprehensive range of ophthalmology services, including both elective and non-elective procedures, should consider this tender. Given the potential for subcontracting to manage demand effectively, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to operate within NHS guidelines may find this framework beneficial for growth and expansion within the healthcare sector. ## Notice Procurement Information Notice 1. Introduction It is the intention of the Contracting Authority to tender for a framework of providers, due to this being a framework, there will be no guarantee of activity. The framework will be split into 2 lots, covering York Hospital and the Authorities two hospital sites on the East Coast, Scarborough Hospital and Bridlington Hospital. The Ophthalmology Directorate at York Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust undertakes a range of Ophthalmology procedures for the local population at York Hospital, Bridlington Hospital and Scarborough Hospital.

The purpose of this notice is a request to other interested providers that are able to provide an element of the required capacity to support the Trust in the delivery of its activity. Depending on the level of interest we may hold a supplier day. 2.
