About

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit awarded a contract to Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group for the continuation of Optometric Enhanced Services across Somerset.

The services include Acute Community Eye Care, Intra-Ocular Pressure Referral Refinement, and Ocular Hypertension Monitoring, aimed at increasing access to acute eye care in the community and reducing unnecessary hospital referrals.

The contracts were directly awarded to 30 existing optometric providers for a period of 36 months from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2024, following a negotiated procedure without prior publication under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) due to absence of competition for technical reasons.

The indicative annual contract value is circa £500,000, with a total contract value of £1,626,000.
