NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) intends to award a contract to Primary Eyecare Services Ltd for the provision of Enhanced Cataract Referral and Post Operative Follow Up services. The procurement process follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023 and not the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have demonstrated excellence in delivering similar services can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their footprint within the UK's public healthcare sector.
