Summary of the contracting process

NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board commissioned orthodontic services for eligible NHS patients in Hertfordshire. The work covers orthodontic treatment to align bites and straighten teeth, including traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers. Patients access the service by referral from a General Dental Practitioner and must meet the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need for NHS orthodontic care. The service is commissioned through a Personal Dental Services Agreement, the national contractual framework for orthodontic contracts. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction. The relevant classification is CPV 85131100, orthodontic services. The selected provider is Mr Jose De Morais Lacerda Angelo, operating from Rosebank Dental Practice in Chorleywood, Rickmansworth.

The procurement has been formally awarded to Mr Jose De Morais Lacerda Angelo through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, starts on 1 April 2027 and is scheduled to end on 31 March 2037. Its total value for the full term is £375,415.30 including the stated contract value in GBP. The arrangement provides seven years with an option to extend by a further three years. One provider submitted a bid. Evaluation gave 100% weighting to the existing provider’s quality and expected ability to meet the proposed requirements; price carried 0%. The decision was based on quality, innovation, value, integration, collaboration, sustainability, access, health inequalities, choice and social value.

This opportunity indicates recurring NHS demand for referral-only orthodontic care in Hertfordshire delivered through a Personal Dental Services Agreement. A credible future competitor would need to provide NHS orthodontic treatment for patients who meet the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, with the clinical capability to deliver fixed braces, clear aligners and removable retainers. It would also need to work effectively with referring General Dental Practitioners and demonstrate reliable performance under the NHS service model. The commissioner’s assessment placed equal importance on quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, service sustainability, improving access, reducing health inequalities, facilitating patient choice and social value. Evidence of meeting basic selection requirements and strong current-service performance would therefore be important.
