Summary of the contracting process

The North of England Commissioning Support has awarded a contract for the "Out of Hours Urgent Dental Treatment Service - Durham and Darlington," valued at £481,385. This contract falls within the health and social work services category and is vital for delivering urgent and emergency dental care during out-of-hours periods in North Cumbria and the North East. The contract period runs from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2021, following a direct procurement method due to unforeseen circumstances linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. The award notice was published on 8 January 2021.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for dental service providers, particularly those capable of offering out-of-hours emergency support. Businesses that specialise in urgent dental care, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The need for continuous dental services amidst the ongoing pandemic underscores the importance of reliable providers in this field.

Notice Title

Out of Hours Urgent Dental Treatment Service - Durham and Darlington

Notice Description

Out of hours dental treatment services are a critical and significant part of the local North Cumbria and North East, unscheduled urgent and emergency dental care clinical pathway. These services offer the only means of accessing urgent and emergency dental care during out of hours weekday periods and across the full weekend/bank holiday extended periods. Under Regulation 72 (1) Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in any of the following cases: (c) where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. This contract award is required due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent impact upon operational delivery and business operations. The current pandemic and events were not expected or foreseen by the contracting authority. Attempts to mitigate risks identified in advance of procurement were undertaken. There was an urgent need to ensure services are maintained for the patients' needs. In light of the above, and taking into account a previous unsuccessful procurement, approval was given by the Commercial Executive Group of Arden and GEM CSU, for a 12 month direct award to be awarded, therefore allowing for delivery of Out of hours dental treatment services from 01 October 2020.
