About

Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) in the South West are seeking providers to deliver optometry services in Special Educational Settings (SES) within Devon; Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly; Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG); and Gloucestershire. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is published to inform the market and to gauge provider interest; interested parties are invited to express interest by completing a market engagement questionnaire. Devon and Cornwall/Isles of Scilly are transitioning to form a cluster, and BNSSG and Gloucestershire are also forming a cluster ahead of statutory mergers likely to take formal effect from April 2027.

Insight

This opportunity is likely valuable to optometry providers and community eye‑care services able to deliver care in special educational settings across the listed South West ICB areas. Key considerations include that the notice is at PIN/market‑engagement stage and that the regional cluster formations and planned statutory mergers (likely from April 2027) may change contracting footprints and require flexibility to operate across combined ICB clusters.
