Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers NHS general dental services in Knighton, Powys, commissioned for Powys Teaching Health Board. The provider is expected to operate a new dental practice or incorporate an established practice in Powys, with adequate dental chairs and capacity for approximately 2,000 to 2,500 patients. Services include routine general dentistry within the mandatory General Dental Services contract framework, timely urgent care, acceptance of new patients and appointment flexibility for diverse population groups. Patients will be Powys residents or people registered with a Powys GP. The service should support effective partnership working with the health board, respond to the evolving local primary-care dental strategy, and use skill mixing and digital technology such as Attend Anywhere. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services managed the procurement.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs, and evaluation weighted quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%; variants were not allowed. The estimated and awarded contract value is £2,500,000 including the published currency of GBP. Imperial Dental Group Limited was awarded the single lot and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and has a stated duration of 3,600 days. The tender deadline, bid opening and start of the award period were all 23 April 2026 at 12:00. The procurement records the lot as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. The arrangement is not described as renewable or optional.

This requirement demonstrates demand for a substantial, long-term NHS dental service serving a defined rural population in Powys. A credible competitor would need to establish or operate a suitably equipped practice, with enough dental chairs, staffing and clinical capacity for around 2,000 to 2,500 patients. Relevant experience should include delivering NHS General Dental Services, urgent dental care and patient intake within Welsh Government guidance, while maintaining quality, efficiency and cost control. Providers should be able to offer flexible appointments for diverse patient groups and work constructively with a health board and local primary-care strategy. Evidence of skill mixing and practical digital access, including tools such as Attend Anywhere, would strengthen a future response. The evaluation also shows that social value and service quality matter alongside price, so bidders need a clear social-value offer and robust clinical delivery model.
