Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board is advancing the procurement process for a specialised Level 2 Oral Surgery service, titled "Level 2 Oral Surgery - WE M Patel 26/29," under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement falls within the 'services' category, specifically focusing on dental practice and related services (CPV: 85130000). The procurement process utilises a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award process without a prior call for competition, tailored for dental services in the East of England, UKH23 region. The contract was formally awarded on 19th March 2026, with its term spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, valued at £139,386 and paid across the contract term. The contract has commenced and Saffron Walden Dental Practice has been confirmed as the supplier.

This procurement provides opportunities for practices with established expertise in oral surgery, particularly those that can deliver services beyond general dentistry. It is an excellent opportunity for dental services providers looking to expand within the East of England's healthcare landscape, addressing niche service needs under the NHS framework. The procurement is particularly suitable for businesses that have previously worked with similar NHS contracts or have specific industry accreditation, enabling them to meet stringent clinical standards and key performance indicators. By participating, businesses can solidify their presence in the public health sector, particularly in oral surgical procedures requiring accredited expertise. The predictable contract value and structured payment schedule underpin this as a stable opportunity for growth within the healthcare provision segment.
