Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership recently completed the award stage of its procurement process for the "Award of Provision of Dental Services for Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board." This contract falls under the services category, specifically dental-practice services, with a focus on underserved areas in regions such as Dwyfor, Meirionnydd, and Anglesey, among others. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, ensuring a transparent selection process. On 23rd April 2025, a key contract was awarded to AMLWCH Dental Practice Ltd, although the process concluded in 2024 with a contract signing date of 21st August 2024. The procurement aimed to commission approximately £1,250,000 worth of dental services annually across various priority locations in the UK, particularly within regions identified by postal code UKL12.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for dental service providers, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-quality NHS services. Businesses that can establish or expand dental practices in underserved areas have a competitive edge, particularly those demonstrating the capability for additional patient access. The emphasis on quality—accounting for 70% of the award criteria—alongside price (30%), indicates a strong opportunity for businesses focusing on service excellence. Companies with the capacity to provide both NHS and private services while maintaining a strong NHS commitment will find a favourable environment for growth through this procurement.
