Summary of the contracting process

NHS England South West is conducting a procurement process for the provision of dental services in Frome, Somerset, following the termination of a previous NHS contract. This contract, facilitated by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit, aims to deliver approximately 8,000 Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) per annum for about 3,000 patients in the locality. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 26 April 2018. The contract is set to commence on 1 November 2018 and will run for five years, with a total contract value of £1 million. The service is classified under health and social work services, with the delivery location within a 2-mile radius of BA11 2HA in the South West region of the UK.

This tender represents an opportunity for dental service providers, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to grow their business within the healthcare sector. The contract requires providers to accept new patients upon commencement and ensure continuity of care for those displaced by the previous service provider. Bidders will need to demonstrate their capacity to coordinate effectively with the NHS England Commissioning Team to achieve specified dental performance levels. With a fixed price of £25.00 per UDA, potential bidders should be prepared to meet the demands of a rigourous healthcare service while contributing to the local community's dental health needs.
