## Summary

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract for "Ophthalmology Services" on the Fylde Coast, classified under the health services industry category with CPV code 85100000. The procurement process falls under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, differing from standard EU procurement directives, utilising a direct award without prior competition. Although an intention to award notice has been issued on 22nd May 2026, formal award and potential representations from other providers must be made by 4th June 2026. The service is intended to start on 1st April 2026 and continue until 31st March 2027. The procurement is ongoing, with the final contract value for this cost-per-case agreement yet to be finalised.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare services or ophthalmology, as a potential competitive space, despite the presence of an established provider, Community Health and Eyecare Ltd (CHEC). The existing provider satisfied previous contractual requirements, which aligns them closely with the key criteria set for continuity and quality in service delivery. New entrants seeking to propose unique innovations, integrate services, or enhance patient access while addressing health inequalities could position themselves well for future procurement cycles within this sector. Companies capable of demonstrating service sustainability and social value would be well-suited to engage with this or similar opportunities in the region.
