Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board initiated a procurement process for General Dental Services and Unscheduled (Urgent Treatment) Dental Services for locations in Holt and Wells-next-the-Sea. The procurement, whose planning commenced with an early engagement in March 2025, was set to proceed through competitive stages, aiming to deliver services starting from 1st October 2025 for a period of up to 10 years. The procurement was to follow the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and was advertised under the Service category of 'Dental practice and related services'. The tender stage, initially active, had a procurement deadline for responses of 14th May 2025. However, by June 2025, the competitive process was abandoned under Regulation 15 of the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, and no contract was awarded.

This intended procurement presented significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in dental services, particularly those prepared to operate without provided premises and with a capacity to address local socio-economic challenges in the Norfolk region. Providers could anticipate delivering a substantial volume of dental activity (21,000 UDAs) across both sites, aligning with NHS standards and accessibility considerations. Companies already registered with the CQC or planning imminent registration would have found this project aligning well with their strategic growth, especially those capable of collaboration with local systems, ensuring service integration and addressing health inequalities in coastal communities.
