## Summary

The North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has entered into the tender process for the contract titled "QHM-2024-8229 Cataract, RIOP and Low Vision," under the Health and Social Work Services industry category. The contract pertains to the provision of cataract, RIOP, and low vision services and is located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK (UKC region). The procurement stage described involves the confirmation of the contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 using the Direct Award Process C. The contract commenced on 1 April 2024 and will continue until 31 March 2025. Representations by providers were required by midnight on 11 April 2024, with the award procedure being conducted without the prior publication of a call for competition due to the specific healthcare procurement regulations applicable.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth for healthcare service providers who specialise in ophthalmology, particularly in cataract, RIOP, and low vision treatments. Businesses that are experienced in delivering high-quality healthcare services and can demonstrate compliance with the rigorous standards set out under the Provider Selection Regime will find themselves well-suited to compete. Large-scale providers with the capacity to undertake comprehensive service delivery in the UKC region, such as Campbell & McDearmid who were awarded the contract, are particularly positioned to benefit from such procurement opportunities. The contract not only offers a secure revenue stream but also the potential to enhance an organisation's reputation in the public health sector.
