The existing contract for the Tier 2 service is due for renewal and the opportunity has been used to review what is currently delivered and extend the service that is provided for patients. The key aim therefore, is to produce community based eye services to deliver care at the heart of the community, which means outside of the acute hospital setting for many patients. This service will have Consultant Ophthalmologists at the core of the delivery, who will be responsible for ensuring that continuity and consistent quality of care is delivered by all members of the community Ophthalmology team. This is for a contract for 3 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years. If and when this requirement is offered to tender, this will be done via electronic means using the internet, and may also be through the medium of an electronic reverse auction.
