The supplier must provide an online booking and voucher hub, an affiliated optometrist network, an employee helpline and quarterly management information reporting. Delivery is across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. The main category is healthcare and occupational eyecare services, including eye-care products and corrective lenses. The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English through Atamis/Health Family by 12:00 on 7 October 2026, with enquiries accepted until 12:00 on 23 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 January 2027 to 6 January 2032, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing it to run until 6 January 2034. Its estimated value is £365,000 excluding VAT and £438,000 including VAT. The award decision was due by 30 October 2026. Evaluation is based on the commercial questionnaire at 40%, technical questionnaire at 50% and social value at 10%. There is one lot. This opportunity suits optometry providers, occupational health businesses and healthcare service companies able to deliver employee eyecare at scale across the West Midlands. Strong candidates will be able to arrange eye and eyesight testing, source and supply prescription protective eyewear and display-screen glasses, and support corporate drivers.
