Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves a contract modification under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), overseen by the NHS Essex Integrated Care Board, for the "Endodontics and Periodontics Service". The industry category pertains to dental-practice services, and the location of service delivery is Essex, UKH3 region. The modification was formally decided on by the Director of Commissioning for Primary Care and Neighbourhoods and is being implemented within the framework of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, exempting it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 23. This modification is current as of 18th June 2026, with the award status marked as active. The modification notice relates to an existing contract with an original duration set notionally at 30 years, ending 31st March 2036.

This modification includes Level 2 Endodontics and Periodontics services, which represents an enhancement of existing NHS dental services in primary care rather than a transformation of the service’s scope. Businesses with expertise in advanced dental practices, particularly those with practitioners possessing enhanced skills, could leverage this opportunity for growth. This procurement process suits dental service providers capable of delivering complex treatments such as advanced root canal procedures and periodontal disease management within a primary care setting. The Oracle Dental Group - Bromley Road Dental Surgery is an example of the type of supplier already engaged, indicating that small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the dental sector might find similar opportunities for entry or expansion in this enhanced service delivery model.
