Companies specialising in pre-operative and post-operative eye care, particularly those that can integrate smoothly with hospital services, will find this tender particularly lucrative. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate a high quality of patient care will be well-suited to compete, given the award criteria prioritise patient choice.
