## Summary

The NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Eyecare electronic Referral System (EeRS) to NHS England Midlands Region". The procurement process was selective, with a contract value of GBP 1,809,400. The contract period runs from February 14, 2023, to February 13, 2025. The tender period ended on August 10, 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those offering IT services related to consulting, software development, and support, to engage with the NHS for the Midlands Region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative solutions to enhance eyecare services are well-suited to compete. The contract's duration up to 2025 ensures a stable revenue stream for the winning supplier. Businesses interested in digital healthcare solutions and improving patient care through technology are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities with NHS England Midlands Region.

## Notice

A rapid review of referral processes, systems and forms across the Midlands Region identified that a variety of processes exist in each ICS area with varying degrees of manual and computer integration and clinical triage (this may be in primary or secondary care depending on where commissioned) and depending on the type of service. Across the Midlands Region, a range of referral administration and referral management practices are in place for eyecare services. These are mixture of legacy systems, as well as provider managed processes. Ophthalmology services in secondary care face enormous challenges with current workload. This is due to an ageing population, enhanced technology enabling more treatments and existing backlogs being made worse due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Ophthalmology currently has the highest number of outpatient appointments (including follow up appointments and referrals for management of long-term conditions) for any speciality. At present we know that waiting times vary across the various eyecare services, also, that the quality of referrals are variable resulting in inconsistent acceptances of cases and therefore a difference in access to services.
