## Summary

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board has announced the award of a contract for the 'Integrated Cataract Pathway' under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This service-oriented procurement encompasses optician services, specifically targeting the cataract treatment pathway, with activities divided between community opticians and cataract hospitals in Sussex. The contract stage is 'Award', initiated through a 'limited' procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. LINDFIELD EYECARE LIMITED has been selected as the provider, with the contract spanning from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2029. This procurement decision was overseen by the Deputy Director of Acute Services and avoids the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
