The service includes assessment, investigation, and treatment (including minor procedures) of patients with eye conditions in the community, with clinical governance led by a consultant ophthalmologist.

The contract also covers education and up-skilling for primary care professionals, patient education for self-care and prevention, sign-posting to third sector organisations, and an advice line for referrers.

SystmOne or a compatible system is used for information transfer, appointment booking, and referrals management.

The procurement was split into two lots: Lot 1 covering NHS Central London CCG and Lot 2 covering Hammersmith and Fulham CCG and NHS West London CCG.

The contract is for three years with an option to extend for a further two years, commencing September 2015, with a combined total value of circa £6,000,000 over three years.

The awarded contract value is £5,500,000.
