Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "The Elderly Oral Health Programme," managed by Rochdale Borough Council, focuses on improving older adults' oral health in the Rochdale region. Classified under CPV 85300000 for social work and related services, the contract was awarded in May 2026. The process follows a limited procurement method without prior publication, operating under the Provider Selection Regime Process C. Although the initial stage involved cancellation of some lots, an active contract was awarded to RIS Products with a value of £25,000 to continue existing health services within the locality. The procurement supports health service provision aimed at minimizing hospital admissions related to poor oral health in the elderly.

This tender creates a unique business growth opportunity, particularly for organisations dedicated to healthcare and social work services, who can offer innovative solutions to improve elder health outcomes. While the award without a prior call for competition sees continuity with RIS Products, businesses with a track record in delivering quality healthcare services can explore future opportunities through similar procurement avenues. Companies adept in managing health services, particularly those experienced with local authority contracts, will be well-positioned to engage with this type of public health initiative. The continued funding via the Better Care Fund emphasizes the need for skilled providers who can sustain and advance the care objectives defined by regional authorities like Rochdale Borough Council.

Notice Title

The Elderly Oral Health Programme

Notice Description

The elderly oral health programme started in 2017 and aims to improve the oral health of older people who live both in care homes and in their own homes across the Rochdale borough. The programme trains staff and audits provision related to oral health with the aim of reducing the impact of poor oral health on admissions to hospital for pneumonia, falls, malnourishment dehydration, sepsis and urinary tract infections. It is currently contract managed by Public Health and funded by Adult Care and Support via the Better Care Fund.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This was procured under PSR - Provider Selection Regime under Process C

Procurement Information

The service relates to health care and the importance that good oral health plays on admissions to hospital for older people. The service prevents admissions to hospital for pneumonia, falls, malnourishment dehydration, sepsis and urinary tract infections and the lengths of hospital admissions by ensuring good oral health care is provided. I am seeking to award to an existing provider for health care services, whose contract extension is ending. The proposed delivery arrangements will not change, and I am satisfied that the provider will continue to deliver the service to a high standard. On this basis I would like to request a direct award using process C.
