## About this tender

The demand for eye care is set to increase as the population ages which will result in a rise in costs and the need for more efficient and effective services to be provided.

Although the majority of sight loss is preventable or ameliorable, as prevalence increases with age there will be an increase in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and in patients diagnosed with macular hypertension (OHT) or glaucoma.

Some estimates suggest that upwards of 20% of out-patient ophthalmology referrals could be treated in the community. NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board Sheffield Place (SYICB Sheffield) is committed to the provision of high quality, dedicated and professional ophthalmology services for patients with eye conditions, centred on clinical assessment and treatment via the most clinically appropriate management pathway.

SYICB Sheffield is committed to a planned shift of care closer to the patient and their community making them more accessible and cost effective. SYICB Sheffield are looking to commission a single lead contractor to offer a range of Community Optometry Treatment Services (listed below) from existing optometry providers at scale across the city. There is a requirement for existing coverage across the city to be retained as a minimum.

â&#128;¢ Paediatric Referral Refinement (PRR)

â&#128;¢ Primary Eyecare Acute Referral Scheme (PEARS)

â&#128;¢ Triage of Optometrist Referrals to secondary care

â&#128;¢ Glaucoma Referral Refinement (GRR)

â&#128;¢ Contact Applanation Tonometry Service (CATS)

The services outlined in the individual service specifications addresses the requirement to reduce unnecessary referrals to secondary care, thus improving the accessibility of services to patients and reducing pressure on local secondary care provision.

The contract will be for three years with an option to extend for a further one year. This contract is a cost and volume contract thus there is no guaranteed level of income, the successful bidder will be paid on actual activity undertaken. The value given in this notice is for a four year term.
