The engagement process includes a deadline for feedback on 12th April 2019 and has been initiated as part of ongoing market engagement activities. This tender is classified under health services, with a focus on ensuring timely patient assessments and treatments within community settings. This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in community health services, optometry, and ophthalmology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this procurement especially pertinent, as the commissioners are seeking innovative proposals to enhance service delivery and patient education. Participation in this tender may enable businesses to broaden their service offerings and strengthen relationships within local healthcare frameworks. ## Notice NHS Cannock Chase, North Staffordshire, South East Staffordshire & Seisdon Peninsular, Stoke on Trent, and Stafford & Surrounds Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) are intending to undertake, in the future, a formal procurement for Community Ophthalmology services across the aforementioned CCG catchment areas. This is to include a Consultant led integrated service model of local optometrists; where all patients are triaged and, where appropriate, shall be assessed and treated within the Community removing the need to attend secondary care. Following feedback from the Market Engagement event, which took place on 21.03.19, Commissioners are now considering separating the Community Ophthalmology procurement into two separate procurements: one for Tier 2 Optometrist and one for Tier 3 Ophthalmology services. For any patient that requires further intervention through to secondary care, the service will need to work closely with local partner organisations to ensure that a swift, coordinated pathway is followed and that all service users are transferred to the appropriate specialty. This in turn will ensure reduction of delays in overall pathways of care and ensure service user experience is at the heart of all care. The Community Ophthalmology service will be a one stop shop providing a consultant- led Tier 3 triage and treat service for the Staffordshire CCGs. The Tier 2 Optometrist service will be delivered to all 5 aforementioned CCGs with the potential for this to expand to East Staffordshire CCG in the future although East Staffordshire is not currently included in these commissioning plans. The proposed community Tier 2 service will look to provide: - Glaucoma Referral Refinement (GRR) - Minor Eye Care Services (MECS) - Pre/Post-Operative Cataract - Paediatric Shared Care - Ocular Hypertension (OHT) and Suspect Glaucoma Commissioners are seeking innovative proposals to support assessment and treatment within the community along with providing patient education on self-managing their conditions.
