## Summary

The procurement process led by NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (SSOT ICB) has entered the contract award stage. The tender, titled "Community Minor & Urgent Eyecare Services", falls under the optician services category (CPV 85160000). This contract is facilitated by the NHS Midlands & Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit. The Direct Award C process was followed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023 Regulations, and the contract was awarded as of 1st October 2025. This service location includes Staffordshire in the UKG23 region, and the contract is valued at approximately £1,310,975 for an 18-month period, concluding on 31st March 2027.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth within the optician services industry. It is particularly suitable for large-scale providers such as Primary Eyecare Services Ltd, which has already been selected as a supplier, reflecting the criteria that prioritise the continuity and satisfaction of existing service agreements. Businesses that can deliver consistent, high-quality eyecare services with an ability to meet predefined activity-based targets are well-positioned to benefit from similar tenders. This non-competitive process favours continuity and thus may favour existing providers who have demonstrated exceptional service delivery under previous agreements.
