Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is planning a procurement process for the provision of NHS Mobile and Alternative Dental Services. The project aims to support the Dental Recovery Plan launched in February 2024 by NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care. The plan includes deploying mobile dental vans to provide additional treatments and appointments, particularly in rural and coastal communities. The engagement end date for this tender is set for April 22, 2024.

This procurement process presents opportunities for suppliers in the dental practice and related services industry. Businesses that can offer mobile healthcare solutions, workforce for dental services, or alternative non-van solutions are well-suited to compete. The tender is at the planning stage, and interested suppliers should engage with NHS England to understand the requirements and opportunities available to support the Dental Recovery Plan's objectives.

NHS Mobile Dental Vans

Notice Description

Updated 24/05/24 - An RFI has been issued on project C264586 on Atamis. If suppliers would like access to the documents please contact england.commercialqueries@nhs.net to be add to the project. NHS England has published this Prior Information Notice in relation to the NHS Mobile and Alternative Dental Services. The Covid-19 pandemic impacted provisions of dental services and although recent data indicates some improvement, there remains more work to be done to improve provisions across England. In February 2024, NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) launched a joint Dental Recovery Plan to provide more than 1.5 million additional NHS dentistry treatments or 2.5 million NHS dentistry appointments. Included in the plan is the commitment to deploy mobile dental vans to contribute to a proportion of these targets, as well as 'offering appointments to patients in targeted rural and coastal communities, starting later this year in the most under-served areas.' NHS England is therefore keen to understand the range of services available to achieve this and to realise the ambitions of the Dental Recovery Plan. In addition to the provision of vans and/or workforce, we are exploring supplementary options such as (but not limited to), the provision of non-van solutions, including the use of local facilities for pop-up services. We are keen to think creatively on how we can best support this target population. Further information regarding this project can be found on Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.
