Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board sought orthodontic services under the procurement titled Orthodontic Services, Hertfordshire 2027/37. The requirement is for the provision of orthodontic treatment and related clinical services commissioned by the NHS. The procurement is categorised as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100). The named buying organisation is NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board. The service is associated with Hertfordshire and West Essex. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing orthodontic services for NHS or other public-sector commissioners, including established specialist providers able to deliver the required clinical service at the scale and standard expected by the commissioner.

The process reached tender: the commissioner invited offers through Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The contract was formally awarded to Inline Orthodontics, with the contract signed on 20 August 2026. It commenced on 1 April 2027 and is scheduled to end on 31 March 2037. The total value for the full contract term is £10,157,133. Evaluation used five equally weighted criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. Providers also had to meet the basic selection criteria and key lines of enquiry mapped to those criteria.

This opportunity suits an established orthodontic services provider with the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver a long-term NHS-commissioned service. The assessment considered quality and innovation, value, service integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, patient choice, and social value. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate effective current service delivery, satisfactory performance, quality management, collaboration with the commissioner and contribution to wider NHS objectives. Providers with evidence covering all five assessment areas, and with experience delivering orthodontic services in a public healthcare setting, are best placed to compete through this type of direct award process.
