## Summary

The Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed the award stage of a procurement process for the "Provision of Ophthalmology Services" under urgent circumstances. The contract, worth £70,647.12, was awarded to Forensic Eyecare LTD under the Direct Award Process A due to unforeseen and urgent needs within the healthcare services at HMP Lincoln. This procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and was conducted without a prior call for competition. The services will be delivered in the secure location of HMP Lincoln in the UKF2 region, with a mobilisation period of less than three months to ensure continuity of healthcare services. The procurement primarily involves the health services industry, classified under CPV 85100000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers in the health sector, specifically those capable of delivering high-quality ophthalmology services under tight timelines and secure environments. Business entities that can adeptly manage urgent healthcare requirements and offer quality-driven solutions will be well-suited for such contracts. The use of a limited procurement method underscores the need for experienced suppliers that can ensure rapid service mobilisation without compromising on standards. Such opportunities can contribute to business growth for companies adept at navigating urgent healthcare demands and collaborating effectively with public health bodies.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust considers that an award must be made urgently, the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the Trust due to the Emergency Award by NHS England of the Head Contract for Healthcare Services at HMP Lincoln to the Trust. Delaying the award of the contract to satisfy the requirements of the PSR would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety. The award term reflects the novation of existing supplier subcontracts from the incumbent on existing terms to ensure the continuity of healthcare services during the mobilisation period of less than three-months. The period of mobilisation would not have allowed the Trust to identify alternative provision for the subcontracted service. The relevant authority has awarded this contract under the Direct Award Process A - Urgent situation (F03) under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
