## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board awarding an optometry contract under the title "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Optometry LCS Contract 2025-26" to Staples Opticians. This procurement falls within the healthcare services industry category, specifically optician services, located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It is part of the award stage and follows the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023 without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, which will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, is a continuation with an existing provider and its value is determined based on patient activity. This direct award was made based on quality criteria prioritising patient choice with no monetary criteria.

This tender provides significant opportunities for optometrists who hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract since the Locally Commissioned Services (LCS) are designed to complement and enhance these services. Although it favours existing providers, businesses within the optometry sector that meet the necessary specification and contract criteria can benefit from engaging in complementary service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in healthcare services, especially those experienced in integrated ophthalmic care, may find potential growth opportunities by showing competence in fulfilling patient-centred quality requirements outlined in this contract.

## 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.

### 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 Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
