## Summary

The procurement process pertains to an awarded contract for an Electronic Eyecare Referral System within the Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care System, with the buying organisation being Attain. The tender was awarded on 24th January 2022 and involves a contract valued at £70,000 for a period of 12 months, starting from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023, with a potential extension for another 12 months. The industry category is classified under medical software packages, and the delivery addresses are located in East of England, specifically in Epping with postal code CM16 6TN. The procurement method followed was selective, with the call-off from a dynamic purchasing system initiated on 22nd November 2021.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare technology sector, particularly those specialising in medical software and electronic referral systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete, as this project aims to enhance local eye care services through innovative solutions in primary care settings. A successful pilot in the East and North Hertfordshire area may lead to extensions and increased contract values, creating further prospects for growth within the relevant industry.

## Notice

The purpose of this Notice is to provide information on the recently awarded contract for an Electronic Eyecare Referral System (EeRS) within the Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care System. The Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS are working to improve Ophthalmology services across primary, community and secondary care. This is in order to respond to an ever-increasing demand for secondary care services. The demand is predicted to rise as a result of earlier diagnosis for chronic conditions, new treatments, increasing population changes and the damaging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Eye care services have traditionally been a hospital-based speciality, however, with the development of advanced equipment and education, many ophthalmic assessments and treatments can be carried out effectively in primary care settings. On 22nd November 2021 West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (as the host CCG on behalf of the Herts and West Essex ICS) published a call-off tender using the national Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Electronic Eyecare Referral Systems which was established in January 2021. Following a compliant procurement process the contract has been awarded to Nonmedical Limited trading as Cinapsis. The initial contract is for a pilot which will be delivered across the East and North Hertfordshire CCG area, should this pilot be successful the service will be extended across Herts Valleys CCG and West Essex CCG areas. The contract will be for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further 12 months (1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 with the option to extend from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024). The contract value is for the 2 year period and may increase should the service be extended to other commissioning organisations across the HWE ICS up to a maximum of PS147,000.
