## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for optician services to Robert Hughes Eyecare. Entitled "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26," this procurement falls under the health industry category, specifically in optometry services. The services will be delivered in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, under a Provider Selection Regime pursuant to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement process did not involve a prior publication of a call for competition, as it was conducted under a limited procurement method due to the specialised nature of the services. The contract, valued based on patient activity, will commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026.

This tender represents a noteworthy opportunity for businesses specialising in health care, particularly those able to integrate General Ophthalmic Services with Local Commissioned Services. Given that the primary criterion for service delivery is the enhancement of existing contracts through interlinked services, optometrists holding a GOS contract are best suited to compete. Businesses aiming to grow their local service contracts in the healthcare sector could leverage such opportunities for sustained business development and further partnerships within the NHS framework.

## Notice

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

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 contract has been awarded following the direst award process B.

The value of the contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity..

The contract will run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026.

This is an existing contract with an existing provider
