## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for "Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2024/25" to Robert Hughes Eyecare. The procurement stage is complete, and this award was announced on 22 October 2024. This contract, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, focuses on delivering locally enhanced services integrated with additional ophthalmic contracts for the Rotherham population. The contract spans from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 and does not rely on a prior call for competition due to its limited procurement method. The services fall under the industry category of optician services (CPV code 85160000) and are provided in Rotherham.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for optometry providers able to integrate with General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts, designating their suitability through prior experience and capability to enhance existing services. Particularly, businesses that specialise in healthcare services and have the required GOS contracts will find this contract beneficial as it ensures continuous service delivery and allows pricing based on local activity. The direct award process emphasises the importance of pre-existing relationships with the NHS and adaptability to deliver integrated health services effectively.

## 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

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
