Summary of the contracting process

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently planning a procurement process for Community Dental Services across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Milton Keynes. This opportunity is titled "Expressions of Interest for Community Dental Services" and is classified under dental practice and related services (CPV code 85130000). Interested providers must respond to the market assessment questionnaire by 10:00 AM on 8th February 2019, as part of the engagement phase. The procurement aims to develop and implement special care and paediatric dentistry services, ensuring that the needs of the community are effectively addressed.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for dental service providers, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their operations in the East Midlands. The focus on community dental services — including urgent care and specialist treatments for specific groups — means that businesses with experience in paediatric dental care, public health dentistry, and service delivery in community settings will be well-suited to compete. Engagement in this market assessment could lead to future partnerships and service expansions aligned with NHS's healthcare strategies.
