The contract, made under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Businesses focusing on quality innovation, service sustainability, and reducing health inequalities are ideally suited to explore similar future contracts, given the project's emphasis on enhancing healthcare access and reducing disparities in oral health. The ability to collaborate with local councils and provide innovative health solutions could significantly bolster a company's profile and reach within the public sector procurement landscape.

Notice Title

Oral Health in Care Homes

Notice Description

Local Authorities have a statutory duty to provide or commission oral health improvement programmes to improve the health of the local population, to the extent they consider appropriate. Oral diseases, including the most common oral health conditions - tooth decay and gum disease- are largely preventable. Despite this, the impact of poor oral health locally, nationally and globally is huge. In the UK context, treatment of oral health conditions cost the NHS over PS3 billion per year but the cost to society is even greater. Among older adults in residential care, poor oral hygiene can lead to aspirated pneumonia and malnutrition and dehydration, which in turn can lead to urinary tract infection. It vital that Oldham has a dedicated provision in place to support vulnerable older adults.
