Summary of the contracting process

This procurement falls under the service category of dental practice and related services, classified by CPV code 85130000. The procurement follows an open procedure and is structured as a competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Initially, the process began with a planning stage in December 2024, moving to a tender in January 2025, with submissions closed by 21st January 2025. The contract awards were confirmed in April 2024, covering two locations: Lot 1 in Norwich and Lot 2 in either Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth, with Kings Lynn not included. Contractually, services commenced on 1st April 2024 and run for four years, with an optional extension of up to one year. The total contract value is approximately £1,046,362.

This tender offers solid opportunities for dental service providers, particularly those capable of delivering out-of-hours services. Firms equipped with their premises and a qualified workforce will find this contract advantageous, as NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB does not provide service venues. Emphasis is placed on integrated and sustainable service delivery. The procurement, scored on quality, innovation, and social value, highlights collaborations with partners like the 111 service for seamless patient referrals. Ideal contenders are CQC-registered entities with established capabilities in out-of-hours dental care, prepared to quickly mobilise and meet dynamic healthcare demands, thus expanding service scopes and scaling operations within a robust public healthcare framework.
