Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council, acting as the contracting authority, has awarded a contract for the provision of children's oral health services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract, titled "HCC - 10/24 - Contract for the Provision of Children's Oral Health," falls under the industry category of dental practice and related services (CPV code 85130000). The contract was officially awarded on 7th November 2024, following an eight-working-day standstill period, and is set to commence on 8th November 2024 and run until 30th June 2025, with an option to extend for an additional one year plus one year, subject to funding and satisfactory performance. The services will be provided in Hertfordshire, particularly targeting families with children under the age of five in deprived areas. The total lifetime value of the contract, including possible extensions, is as specified in section II.1.7 of the contract document.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in dental health and community healthcare services. It is particularly advantageous for providers with experience in public health and education focused on oral health in young children. Companies in the healthcare sector, especially those already working with local or regional authorities, will find this opportunity aligns well with their expertise. The direct award process under PSR indicates a preference for experienced providers with a track record of satisfactory service delivery, thus, businesses with a strong reputation and proven capability to meet the specified criteria are well-suited to compete for such contracts.
