## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the Optometry Local Enhanced Services contract for the year 2026/27, awarded to Specsavers Optical Superstores Limited in Rotherham. This contract is under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, separate from the Public Contract Regulations 2015. It was procured through a limited method without a prior call for competition. Key dates include the contract start on 1st April 2026, ending on 31st March 2027. This contract, primarily categorised under "optician services," aims to enhance existing General Ophthalmic Services and is crucial for optometry service providers in Rotherham.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for optometry service providers, particularly those able to fulfil General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contracts. The specific enhancement of local services demands providers with the capacity to integrate these enhancements alongside existing GOS offerings. Such an arrangement is designed for optometry businesses that are already entrenched in delivering healthcare services and are prepared to manage contractual obligations linked to patient activity volume. As the procurement method focused on direct award, eligible businesses can secure predictable workload and revenue streams, thus supporting sustained business growth within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (Optometrists) is because they are required to hold a General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (GOS) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Optometrist delivers every LCS.

The contract has been awarded following the direst award process B.

The value of the contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity..

The contract will run from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027.

This is an existing contract with an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme.

### Procurement Information
