## Summary

The NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for an Integrated Cataract Pathway under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at a nominal £0.01, runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2029 and covers optician services in Sussex, specifically region UKJ2.

The pathway includes pre-referral assessments, pre-operative appointments, cataract surgery, and post-operative appointments involving both community opticians and hospitals.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical and optician services.
