## Summary

The NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, titled "Integrated Cataract Pathway," falls within the services category of Optician services (CPV: 85160000). The pathway involves pre-referral assessments, pre-operative appointments, cataract surgery, and post-operative evaluations, integrating both community opticians and hospitals located in Eastbourne (Region: UKJ2). The procurement process, which bypassed prior publication of a competitive call, identified ASDA STORES LIMITED as the successful supplier. The contract is active, with a start date of 1 July 2024 and an end date of 30 June 2029. The procurement method utilised was limited due to the specific regulations, and the process has been confirmed as complete as of 16 October 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in optician and surgical services. Companies capable of integrating community-based and hospital services into a seamless pathway will particularly benefit. Organisations with expertise in pre- and post-operative care, as well as those with robust operational capabilities in health service delivery, are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
