## Summary

The procurement process for the "Community Post Cataract and Glaucoma Ophthalmology Service" was conducted by the Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, focusing on post-cataract, glaucoma, or bi-lateral follow-up patient activity. The service falls under the health services category, with the procurement located in the UKD6 region. Initially announced as an intention to award, the contract was confirmed and formally awarded on 1st April 2026, and is set to run until 31st March 2027. The procurement followed the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and utilised a direct award process. The contract has an indicative lifetime value of £145,000.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in ophthalmology post-op care. Given the nature of the service, businesses focusing on community-based health services would be well-suited to compete. Moreover, the procurement method of direct award without prior call for competition suggests an exclusive opportunity for pre-qualified suppliers, enhancing prospects for growth and collaboration with public healthcare entities like the NHS Foundation Trust. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Primary Eyecare Services Limited, have demonstrated their suitability by securing this contract, highlighting potential opportunities for similarly positioned businesses to expand their operations and enhance their service portfolios within the healthcare sector.
