Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is overseeing a public procurement process for providing CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Scanning services at the Birmingham Dental Hospital. This initiative falls under the dental practice and related services category. The main site for service delivery is in the West Midlands, UK. Currently, the tender is in the 'planning' stage, with an express interest deadline set for 6th January 2026. The contract is projected to begin on 1st April 2026, lasting for three years with a potential two-year extension. The procurement method under consideration is the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) following the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) route, with a total budget of £150,000.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in dental imaging and radiology, especially those offering services like OPG, CBCT small to large volume scans, and radiology reporting. Companies with experience in handling patient referrals under constraints such as limited internal capacity or special equipment needs will find this contract aligns well with their capabilities. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and specialised service providers in the healthcare sector are particularly well-suited to compete, offering them a chance to establish or expand their presence in the public healthcare sector within the West Midlands region.
