Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle City Council has completed the procurement process for the Oral Health Promotion Service contract, awarding it to Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Community Dental. This service, focusing on dental-practice services, is considered vital for improving oral health and addressing health disparities in the region UKC22. The contract was awarded under a limited procurement method, specifically a Direct Award Process A, following the guidelines of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This approach was taken as it was deemed Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was the only provider capable of delivering the service efficiently and with the required expertise. Key dates include the contract award on 22nd May 2025, with the process having reached the stage of completion.

This contract presents growth opportunities primarily for larger health service providers with specialised capabilities in complex dental care. While this particular contract was awarded without a competitive tender, such services generally require firms to showcase distinct expertise and capacity in handling extensive community health initiatives. The targeted service aims to bridge gaps in dental care accessibility, and potential future contracts in this domain may seek innovative approaches to health promotion. Businesses focusing on healthcare solutions, particularly those addressing complex patient needs, would be well-positioned to compete in future contracts within this industry.
