Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Mandatory Dental Services - Rapid Commissioning of Additional Units of Dental Activity on behalf of NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB," has completed under the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB). The industry category is Dental practice and related services, focusing specifically on enhancing mandatory dental service provision in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight region. Key locations involved are Portsmouth and Havant. This process is at the award stage, involving modifications to existing contracts pursuant to the Provider Selection Regime (2023), to address the increased demand for dental services. The contract modifications were formalised on 30th May 2025, ensuring compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement utilised a limited method, acknowledging an external regulatory framework rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small to medium enterprises within the dental services industry to grow their business. By being selected in the rapid commissioning process, businesses like Smile Care Slough 24 Ltd in Portsmouth and Magnolia House Dental Practice, Damira Dental Studios Ltd, and Smile Dental Care in Havant can scale their operations by providing additional Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) in response to increased local demands. The process was carried out transparently and aimed at sustaining and improving dental activity levels in the prioritized geographic areas, therefore benefiting dental service providers capable of adapting to recurrent service modifications and meeting NHS priorities for 2023/24. This opportunity is particularly well-suited to those already engaged in public health services seeking to expand their contractual engagements with NHS entities.
