Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, on behalf of NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB), is initiating the planning stage for commissioning Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) on the Isle of Wight. This planning process includes a pre-procurement market briefing event, scheduled to take place virtually via Microsoft Teams from 5pm to 7pm on 8th November 2024. Potential providers should complete the registration form on the Atamis e-procurement system by 12 noon on 6th November 2024. The procurement process is expected to commence in early November 2024, with phased contract awards starting from April to September 2025, under Lot-based contracts, each with specified UDA activities, for up to 10 years. The industry category is dental practice and related services, located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for providers specializing in dental services, particularly those with experience in NHS contracts and the capability to deliver high-standard dental care. With multiple Lots available, including specific awards for various regions of the Isle of Wight, both large and small enterprises—including SMEs and VCSEs—are well-suited to compete. Providers can benefit from long-term contracts and the possibility of establishing a sustainable presence in the Isle of Wight's healthcare sector. It is essential for interested parties to engage early, attend the market briefing event, and register their interest on Atamis to remain updated with detailed procurement and selection process information.

To allow potential providers to reflect on the proposed services, the Commissioner has provided early indicative information as part of this notice. At the briefing, we will share further detail of the commissioner's objectives, the proposed specification for the service, lotting intentions and pricing strategy. We will also provide details of the e-Procurement system (being used to procure these services) and how the procurement and selection process will operate. To access the information suite and express an interest, interested providers should register on the e-procurement system, Atamis, available on the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome and express interest via the 'Live Opportunities' list.

Providers should not rely upon these documents when submitting any future bids, instead referring to the tender documentation released with the relevant tender opportunity. This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the Authority or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. Commissioners are looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations. The Authority will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. Interested parties should note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course. The intention is to award a contract using the competitive process. This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) prior information notice. The contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply.
