NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU is working on behalf of NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB for the contract award of a Tier 1 Ophthalmology Service.
Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB was commissioning a range of primary eye care services via a range of different of providers which is delivered in all areas. These services were established through individual contracts between existing providers and the former CCGs. West Lancashire currently do not have a Tier 1 Ophthalmology service commissioned within their geography so this will be an additional provision.
A standardised model of Tier 1 ophthalmology provision has been designed in collaboration with clinical colleagues across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The aim is to take lessons learnt from the most successful models and work in alignment with national programmes to optimise our service provision, by regulating eyecare across Lancashire and South Cumbria, reducing health inequalities and increasing care provision and access.
The model will improve integration through collaborative partnerships between primary care optical practices and Hospital Eye Services. The aim is to provide safe, effective pathways of care with improved patient flow, via evidence-based pathways. This will improve access for patient care, deliver care closer to home and overall provide an excellent patient experience whilst delivering a cost-effective service.
As part of the procurement process, the authority has identified one provider to deliver a Tier 1 Ophthalmology Service across the whole Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB.
The contract will be for 3 years starting from 1 October 2024 with a possible 2-year extension. The estimated contract value per annum is £3,261,000.
