## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, involves the provision of an Electronic Eyecare Referral System for Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement London Region. This initiative is classified under IT services and is being conducted through a selective procurement method. The award was published on 27 April 2021, following an active tender that ended on 15 February 2021, with a contract value of £379,727.92 for an annual contract period lasting from 31 March 2021 to 30 March 2022 across London.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital health solutions, particularly those adept in developing referral management systems and enhancing connectivity within healthcare. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on innovative IT services and have experience with healthcare projects would be particularly well-suited to compete. Successful parties will play a crucial role in transforming eye care services, improving the interface between primary care optometry and the hospital eye service, thus expanding their footprint within the health technology sector.

## Notice

NHSX have created a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to enable the rapid transformation of new referral management pathways for ophthalmology patients. Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust have awarded a contract for an Electronic Eyecare Referral System via the DPS on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement London Region. This Procurement process is looking to address and improve the connectivity that links primary care optometry and the hospital eye service which is seen as key to improving eye care services in England. The ambition is to have numerous trained and well-equipped primary care optometrists with the ability to make clinical decisions based on quantitative and imaging clinical data. This will provide significant opportunities to use digital connectivity to improve eye care. NHSX considers digital solutions that increase connectivity between different providers of eye care horizontally and vertically, and across primary and secondary care, to be a key enabler for the national outpatient transformation programme. This will rapidly restore and ensure continuation of eye care services during COVID-19 and transform how services are delivered in the future. There are 17 major trust providers covering over 31 sites in London and 936 optical practices across 5 Integrated Care Systems (North East, South East, South West, North West and North Central London). Each Integrated Care System (ICS) has its own configurations of optical practice software and ophthalmology IT systems with some optical practices and ophthalmology departments still using paper records. This procurement process was facilitated by the NHS England National and Commercial Procurement Hub (commissioned from the SCW CSU) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: Year 1 will focus on a proof of concept on North Central London. At full deployment across London contract value would total PS1,811,573 annually.
