Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The tender titled "Market Engagement: General Dental Services in Lincolnshire and Leicester City" is being conducted by the NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit. Currently in the planning stage, this procurement process aims to establish high-quality General Dental Services in the East Midlands, specifically covering areas such as Lincoln, Leicester city, and surrounding regions. The engagement event will take place in Newark on 20th February 2018, with a corresponding webinar for remote participants. Interested businesses must register by 2pm on 16th February 2018 to participate and receive further details. This procurement consists of eight individual Lots, each with a contract term of seven years, extendable for up to three additional years, with services expected to commence on 1st February 2019.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant chance for dental service providers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their operations in the region. The structure of the tender allows businesses to bid for multiple Lots, fostering competition while addressing diverse service needs across different localities. The upcoming invitation to tender (ITT) anticipated to be published in late February 2018 will further outline the specific requirements, making it essential for prospective bidders to stay informed and prepare their submissions adequately to enhance their chances of success.
