## Summary

The NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (NHS SWL ICB) is overseeing the procurement of ophthalmology services across the South West London area, which encompasses the boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Merton, Wandsworth, Sutton, and Croydon. This procurement process, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, involves two distinct service lots: Lot 1 for a Community Eyecare Service to address minor eyecare needs within primary care settings and Lot 2 for a Secondary Care Single Point of Referral Management System. The tender update was published on 10 March 2026, with a contract awarded on 12 February 2026 for Lot 2 worth £2,100,000.
