Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is facilitating the procurement of conscious sedation dental services for anxious adults across Cheshire and Merseyside, classified under health services. This procurement follows a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The intention to award notice, dated 19th March 2026, begins the standstill period during which providers can submit representations. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and expire on 31st March 2027, with an annual value of £160,933.38. This limited procurement method involves direct awards to incumbent providers, as approved on 16th February 2026.

This tender offers substantial business growth prospects for providers specialising in dental services with expertise in conscious sedation for patients with high dental anxiety. Large organisations such as Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust are already involved, indicating a competitive market. However, smaller enterprises like Bridgewater NHS Trust are also active, showcasing diversity in potential bids. Providers with strong credentials in delivering quality healthcare, innovation in service sustainability, and proven social value impact stand to benefit significantly. The tender emphasises criteria such as social value, access improvement, and reducing health inequalities, making it ideal for companies focused on comprehensive patient care aligned with such strategic goals.
