The service is a Schedule 3 Service and is being procured under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. A specification detailing the service being Commissioned is attached. Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a highly specialist surgical intervention that can restore meaningful vision to patients suffering from end stage corneal blindness, and for whom conventional corneal surgery is not possible for reasons such as severe 'dry eyes' that causes heavy scarring of the cornea. Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) uses the patient's own tooth root and alveolar bone to support an optical cylinder and is only considered in end stage corneal disease when there is no other available treatment to restore sight. NHS England would like to identify NHS Trusts who are interested in delivering these services in accordance with the specification. NHS England is looking to gauge the potential market interest for providing these services and would like to hear from suitably qualified and experienced providers with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to acquire the necessary capacity and capability within the requisite timescale, which will be notified to Potential Bidders following this Expression of Interest exercise). Providers willing to Express an Interest will be required to respond to a series of questions which are scored on a "Pass/Fail" basis. The scoring criteria for each question is stipulated within the question. Only providers who score a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions will be deemed compliant & capable. Depending on the outcome of the Expressions of Interest, the Commissioner reserves the right to direct award to provider(s) with no further competition where there is a single provider expressing an interest in a Lot and scores a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions. Depending on the number of providers who Express an Interest and score a "Pass" on all "Pass/Fail" questions, then the Commissioner may seek to undertake a Provider selection process. The deadline for expressions of interest is 12:00 hrs midday on the 26th May 2021. No expressions of interest after this time will be accepted. There will also be an opportunity to attend a market engagement event via Microsoft Teams at 4pm on Wednesday 5th May 2021.
