This Service shall support the statutory duties placed on health commissioners under the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice (0–25 years), including the identification of visual needs contributing to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
The Commissioner(s) are each looking for Provider(s) to conduct Sight Tests with CYP within SES premises, delivered by a clinical and non-clinical workforce who have been fully trained to work with this cohort of Patients.
The contract duration for each individual lot is for a period of 5 years with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract for a period or periods of up to a further 4 years (total maximum contract duration 9 years).
A separate General Ophthalmic Additional Services Model Contract - Special Educational Settings will be established with the preferred provider for each Lot.
