Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent contract modification notice issued under the Provider Selection Regime by NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board involves an update to the Hertfordshire & West Essex Integrated Urgent Care Service. This amendment incorporates the Dental Access Scheme into the existing urgent care pathway, covering the period from 1 December 2024 to 31 March 2027. The procurement process falls under the Health services category, primarily involving triage and booking for urgent dental care. The procurement stage is currently at the contract update and award phase, following approval given on key dates including 3 February 2026 for services running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The services will be delivered in the UKH23 region, with a total contract value of £266,477 represented in GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for healthcare service providers, particularly those specialising in urgent and emergency care pathways, to expand their offerings. Organisations with expertise in urgent dental care will find fertile ground in integrating their services with the broader urgent care system managed by NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board. This opportunity would be particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to provide both in-hours and out-of-hours dental services, ensuring service continuity and enhancing patient access to urgent care within established health reform frameworks.
