Coverage: 859 active published awards; 13 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
There is a need for Opticians on the frontline to have access to digital tools that will speed up patient care and also reduce the local burden on frontline clinical staff.
Without these tools decision making on a patients follow up and direction of care will take longer and any patient issues may worsen due to delays with treatment.
This procurement is for support with wider adoption of NHS digital solutions providing Provider management coordination/training support and final evaluation.
The commencement of procurement and award of any subsequent contract will be subject to budgetary approval
