What does an optician contract cover?
An optician contract can cover eye examinations, spectacle and contact lens dispensing, and general ophthalmic services delivered under NHS enhanced service agreements. Some contracts cover a single service, while others group several together.
Where are optician contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together optician tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Integrated care boards commission enhanced eye services from opticians that hold a General Ophthalmic Services contract, often by direct award under the Provider Selection Regime.
What do you need to bid for optician contracts?
Optical providers must be registered with the General Optical Council and usually hold an NHS General Ophthalmic Services contract, and services must handle patient data in line with UK data protection law. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar services at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
Who buys optician services in the public sector?
NHS integrated care boards are common buyers of optician services, commissioning locally enhanced services from opticians on behalf of their populations.
How do I find optician contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read integrated care board commissioning intentions, community eye care pathway reviews, enhanced service renewals and Provider Selection Regime notices, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover optician tenders?
Optician notices carry 85160000 (Optician services), and some community eye services carry 85100000 (Health services).
