## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract to Auckland Opticians Limited for the provision of Optometry Local Enhanced Services for the period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with no conflicts of interest identified. The contract, which pertains to optician services, will serve the Rotherham region and was awarded without a prior call for competition under direct award process B. The procurement method used was limited, and the service is integrated with existing ophthalmic contracts to enhance local offerings.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in optician and ophthalmic services, especially those capable of integrating additional services alongside General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts. Businesses already holding or aiming to secure GOS contracts are particularly well-suited to compete, as the Local Enhanced Services (LCS) are designed to complement rather than stand alone from GOS contracts. This initiative not only supports the existing provider base but also encourages growth and innovation in optometry services within the region.

## Notice

The provider is commissioner to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population integrated with their additional Ophthalmic contracts.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham
population. This contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the
Provider Selection Regime.

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract award is from
01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. This is an existing service from an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme

### Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
