## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield, has confirmed the award of a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023 for the provision of optometry local enhanced services for the Rotherham population for the fiscal year 2024/25 to Boots Opticians Professional Services Ltd. The procurement process was limited and did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, signed on 1st April 2024, will span from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The sector category for this procurement is health services, specifically optician services, and the location is Rotherham, within the UKE3 region.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in optometry services, particularly those capable of delivering locally enhanced services integrated with existing General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts. Businesses with the capacity to meet specified criteria and deliver quality service on an activity basis will find this contract appealing. Existing providers with a solid presence in the health services sector, particularly within South Yorkshire, are well-positioned to leverage this contract to expand their service offerings and strengthen their regional market presence.

## Notice

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham
population. This contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the
Provider Selection Regime.

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract award is from
01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. This is an existing service from an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme

### Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
