Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has initiated a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice for the Minor Oral Surgery Services contract, focusing on the dental practice and related services industry. This procurement process covers services across Lancashire and South Cumbria, aligning with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement, executed through a limited award procedure without prior publication, sees multiple providers being selected for the same service under direct award route C. The recommendation was made by the ICB commissioning leads and endorsed by the Primary Care Contracting Sub Committee on 13th November 2025, with the final decision on 25th November 2025. The standstill period for provider representations ends on 28th January 2026, with contracts intended to commence on 1st September 2026 and run until 31st August 2028.

This award notice opens avenues for business growth primarily for existing providers capable of delivering specialised oral surgery and dental services. With a focus on intersectional criteria such as quality, innovation, and social value, businesses with a proven infrastructure in providing NHS dental services, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited for engagement. Participating businesses such as Aesthetics Dental Solutions Ltd and Synergy Dental Clinic Blackburn Ltd highlight existing dental service providers' opportunities to sustain and enhance service delivery while addressing regional healthcare needs. The procurement stresses value delivery without substantial service change, presenting viable opportunities for SME growth in addressing local health inequalities and increasing service accessibility.

    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the processes as set out in the PSR have been applied and not the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Act 2023. The ICB has followed a provider selection process where multiple providers have been awarded a contract for the same service, therefore a single transparency notice has been published listing all the providers. Please note that the intention is for all providers to be awarded a separate contract. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 28th January 2026. These contracts have not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to lscicb.procurement@nhs.net Details of Decision Makers: The recommendation to award the contract via this route has been made by the ICB commissioning leads for the service and was then endorsed at the Primary Care Contracting Sub Committee on the 13/11/2025. The final decision to award the contract was made by the LSC ICB Executive Team on the 25/11/2025. This award is in compliance with direct award route c as there are existing providers for the service and the existing providers are satisfying their original contracts, will likely satisfy the proposed new contracts and the services are not changing considerably. In completion of the service and provider assessment, the relative importance of the key criteria (Quality and Innovation, Value, Integration, Collaboration, and Service Sustainability, Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities, and Facilitating Choice, and Social Value) were considered against the current contract specification and the ICB are assured that the providers are satisfying the requirements within the specification in relation to the key criteria. The ICB are also satisfied that the providers meet the basic selection criteria. There were no conflicts of interest identified.",
