## Summary

The procurement process for the cataracts service, led by the NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, has reached the award stage under a Provide Selection Regime (PSR). The process is classified within the ophthalmologist services industry, aimed at serving the region of Kent & Medway, United Kingdom. Notably, the contract, valued at £0.01, was formally signed on 1st September 2025 and is set to last until 31st August 2028, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The procurement method was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, aligning with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, thereby not requiring adherence to the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender signifies a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those providing ophthalmological care. The opportunity is well-suited for organisations that can deliver cataract surgeries and related services within the specified region, as indicated by the NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, the buying organisation. Community Health and Eyecare Ltd, a large supplier based in Preston, has been identified as the active supplier, illustrating potential for large-scale service providers. Such contracts enable companies to establish or expand their presence in healthcare provisioning within the UK's public sector framework.
