Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust has procured a managed service for dental drills, covering the provision and management of dental drilling equipment. The work is for the Trust’s dental services and is delivered in the Watford area. The procurement is categorised as dental equipment (CPV 33711790).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to B. Braun Medical Limited on 15 October 2026. The award value is £350,000. The contract runs for five years, from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031. The Trust used a direct award under the SBS10251 Clinical Managed Services framework, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated estimated procurement range was £300,000 to £400,000; the selected supplier’s award value falls within that range. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers targeting future dental equipment managed-service requirements at this Trust, this award demonstrates demand for a sustained, multi-year service covering dental drills rather than a one-off equipment purchase. A credible competitor would need to provide and manage dental drilling equipment over an extended contract, with the capacity to support the Trust’s dental-service needs at this scale. The Trust placed this award through a direct call-off from its clinical managed-services framework, so suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to be positioned to participate through the relevant framework route. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the award went to a large supplier.
