The procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, which began on 1st April 2024 and will run until 31st March 2025, aims to integrate enhanced ophthalmic services with existing General Ophthalmic Services (GOS), ensuring continuity and enhancement of care. This process was marked by an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and no conflicts of interest were reported. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses already operating within the optometry sector, particularly those that hold GOS contracts and are capable of providing integrated ophthalmic and enhanced services. Given that the service provision requires an existing GOS contract, medium-sized or large optometry practices that can meet these stringent criteria are ideally positioned to benefit. This contract highlights the demand for comprehensive optometry services in Rotherham, making it a lucrative opportunity for established optical groups looking to expand their service offerings in the healthcare field. ## Notice The provider is commissioner to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population integrated with their additional Ophthalmic contracts. ### 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034140-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH YORKSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 3FG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE3 South Yorkshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PORTLAND OPTICAL GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85160000 - Optician services ## Release History - 22 Oct 2024 at 11:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034140-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.england.nhs.uk - https://www.southyorkshire.icb.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
