The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board has announced its intention to award a contract for the Community Dental Service in Newcastle upon Tyne. The awarded contract, under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, will span from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029 with a total value of £5,258,264.52. The procurement, classified under the CPV category for dental practice and related services, was conducted via a limited procurement method, implying no prior call for competition. This process involves the award of continuation services currently provided satisfactorily by The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, focusing on dental services for patients unable to access mainstream dental care.

It requires established capabilities in delivering specialised dental services efficiently and aligning them with NHS guidelines. Businesses capable of providing cutting-edge dental practice solutions and robust patient care management systems would be well-suited to engage in such contracts.
