Notice Information

Notice Title

Mandatory Dental Services at West Carclaze Dental Practice, St Austell, Cornwall

Notice Description

This notice is placed in order to facilitate early engagement with potential providers, and relates only to a pre-procurement market sounding questionnaire. NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (CIOS) Integrated Care Board (ICB) seeks to determine the level of interest in delivering Mandatory Dental Services from a purpose built NHS dental property in West Carclaze Garden Village. West Carclaze Garden Village is a new housing development of c. 1,500 homes, in St. Austell, Cornwall. NHS CIOS ICB, in collaboration with Cornwall Council, have the opportunity to potentially utilise Section 106 funding for the development of a purpose built dental practice in West Carclaze Garden Village. The exact nature of the building is still to be determined, though it is envisaged that a 4 / 5 chair dental surgery could be built. At this time, the ICB seeks responses to a market sounding questionnaire, the aim of which is to determine the level of provider interest in delivering these services, and obtain feedback from the market to help inform decision making. Subject to sufficient interest from the market and the outcome of final decision making, the ICB anticipates undertaking a procurement process in the future to award a new dental contract for the delivery of the services. Any successful provider would be expected to collaborate with the developer of the building, to ensure a compliant dental surgery is built and fully equipped, as part of mobilisation. The precise scope of the contract is still to be determined but, as a guide, the ICB anticipates commissioning 22,000 UDAs at a rate of PS40.00 per UDA based on 24/25 prices. This equates to an indicative annual contract value of PS880,000. The ICB anticipates contracting for the services under a PDS agreement for a period of 10 years. Any successful provider would be responsible for covering rental costs associated with the property. The Commissioners are considering whether any additional funding could be provided to support with these costs. To register interest and gain access to the questionnaire, interested parties should follow the link to the e-procurement system, Atamis, search for the opportunity by clicking on 'View our Live Opportunities' from the home page, then complete the 'Market Sounding Questionnaire' Microsoft Forms available within the system. Please note that you will need to be registered on Atamis, and then select the option to 'register an interest' under the project titled 'Market Sounding: MDS at West Carclaze Dental Practice', project reference C333718 to gain access to the link to the MS Forms questionnaire. https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome Please ensure that you submit a completed MS Forms questionnaire by no later than 12 Noon on 27th February 2025. This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West (SCW) on behalf of the commissioners. Additional information: 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. The ICB is looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations. The ICB 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. 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.
