Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is initiated by Staffordshire County Council for the supply of "IA3805 Oral Health Smile Packs," targeting the dental industry category. The tender involves providing adult and junior smile packs containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and smile pack leaflet for delivery across Staffordshire. The council seeks to establish a contract with an initial value of £32,000, excluding VAT, to cover the year 2025-26, with potential funding for subsequent years dependent on confirmation. Interested parties should note key dates, including the tender period ending on 22nd December 2025 and the enquiry period closing on 15th December 2025. The process follows an open procurement method and falls below the procurement threshold, fostering competitive opportunities.

Moreover, the tender evaluation heavily favours competitive pricing strategies, allowing businesses that offer cost-efficient solutions for both adult and junior packs to score favourably. With a procurement method designed for open competition, businesses new and established in the supply of dental products, printing services, and distribution logistics may find this tender well-suited to their growth objectives.
