The commissioners anticipate contracting for services under PDS agreements for a period of up to 10 years. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Timing of any procurement(s) are yet to be finalised, but currently the commissioners anticipate proceeding in four phases, following the outline dates below:- Phase 5C1 - Isle of Wight Prior Information Notice (PIN) / Market engagement Oct-Nov 2024 Call for competition Nov - Dec 2024 Contract award and mobilisation Apr - Sept 2025 --- Phase 5C2 - Oxfordshire Call for competition Oct - Dec 2024 Contract award and mobilisation Apr - Sept 2025 --- Phase 5C3 - Hampshire Prior Information Notice (PIN) / Market engagement Oct - Dec 2024 Call for competition Jan - Feb 2025 Contract award and mobilisation May - Oct 2025 --- Phase 5C4 - Hampshire Prior Information Notice (PIN) / Market engagement Jan 2025 Call for competition Feb - Mar 2025 Contract award and mobilisation Jun - Nov 2025 NB.

Any pre-procurement market engagement events will be open to all providers who may want to deliver NHS mandatory dental services in the future. Details on how to register your interest to attend any of the events will be shared in the respective Prior Information Notice for each phase, when published. 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 commissioners or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The commissioners 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 or it's associated Atamis project does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course.
