## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Optometry Local Enhanced Services 2024/25." This falls under the Healthcare Services industry category and relates specifically to optician services within Rotherham. Under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, Specsavers Opticians Ltd, trading as Vision Plus, has been awarded the contract, which will run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The procurement method was a direct award process, bypassing the need for a prior publication of a call for competition, and it is classified as a limited procurement method. The contract value is not specified, but payment will be made on an activity basis as per the local pricing in the NHS Payment Scheme.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the optometry sector, particularly those already holding a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract, as it is designed to enhance existing services. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and establish or strengthen their presence in the Rotherham area. Given that the contract supports locally enhanced services integrated with additional ophthalmic contracts, suppliers in the optometry field with the required qualifications and existing infrastructure will find this contract particularly appealing for business growth. The provisions ensuring no conflicts of interest and transparency further make it an attractive prospect for eligible businesses.

## 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.
