## Summary

The NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract involves an Integrated Cataract Pathway and falls under the CPV category of Optician services (85160000). The procurement stage is complete, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, starting on 1st April 2024 and ending on 31st March 2029, involves four key elements: pre-referral assessment and post-operative care by community opticians, and pre-operative appointments and cataract surgery by a hospital. The entire process will take place in Sussex (UKJ2).
