Market consultation and request for information: Procurement of ophthalmologist services

Summary

This is a market consultation and request for information by the Kainuu wellbeing services county to prepare a possible future procurement of ophthalmologist services. It is not a contract notice or a request for tenders, and responding does not bind the service provider or the contracting authority. The planned service has three lots: ophthalmology outpatient clinic services, outpatient eye surgery, and cataract surgery. The outpatient clinic services cover scheduled and emergency patients, responses to internal consultation requests, and supervision of injections and similar procedures carried out by nursing staff. Outpatient surgery is performed under local anaesthesia and includes procedure assessments; cataract surgery takes place at the ophthalmology outpatient clinic. A company wishing to participate must complete the separate questionnaire and upload it through the procurement portal by 22 September 2026. The notice does not set out detailed qualification or compliance requirements, and the contracting authority may request further information from respondents later.
