Description
North Staffordshire, and Stoke-on-Trent Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) currently commission an Community (Tier 2) Ophthalmology service based in various locations across North Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Moorlands. This is offered on a basis of direct referral to Patients registered with GPs contracted with these CCGs.
Services are available for service users registered with a General Practitioner in North Staffordshire CCG and Stoke on Trent CCG.
Commissioners wish to undertake in the future a Procurement exercise to appoint a single Prime Provider to deliver Tier 2 Ophthalmology services.
Community Tier 2 services will consist of 5 elements:
- Glaucoma Referral Refinement (GRR)
- Minor Eye Care Services (MECS)
- Pre/Post-Operative Cataract
- Paediatric Shared Care
- Ocular Hypertension (OHT) and Suspect Glaucoma
The service will need to work closely with local partner organisations to ensure that a swift, coordinated pathway is followed.
The final full-service specification will be published as part of a future procurement process around early March 2020.
In particular the commissioners would like to understand the capacity and the ability of Providers to deliver this service and therefore issuing this Prior Information Notice to invite expressions of interest in any future procurement..
