Summary of the contracting process

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB commissioned child-only dental services across six locations: Scarborough, Scunthorpe, Brigg in North Lincolnshire, rural Stokesley in North Yorkshire, Cleethorpes and York. The work is health and dental practice services, covering the delivery of dental activity for children. Each location is treated as a separate service requirement. The commissioning body is the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, with delivery taking place through local dental providers in the named towns. The arrangements are designed to provide continued child-only dental provision across Humber and North Yorkshire, with the requirements divided geographically rather than as one single service area.

The six contracts were formally awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process C and a limited procedure without a prior competition. Contracts were signed on 19 June 2026, with service periods from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Awards are: Scarborough to Solis Dental Studio for £336,000; Scunthorpe to Ashby Road Ltd for £26,880; Brigg to Willows Dental Practice at Riverside (Ricodent Management Services) for £67,200; Stokesley to Riverdale Tradeco Limited trading as Riverdale Healthcare for £50,380.80; Cleethorpes to The Dental Surgery for £36,940.80; and York to Jorvik Dental Practice for £134,400. Each location was assessed on quality and cost, with the existing provider’s continuing satisfactory performance supporting the award.

This procurement demonstrates recurring NHS demand for locally delivered child-only dental services, split into manageable geographic contracts rather than one region-wide award. The successful suppliers are all small or medium-sized dental businesses, including established practices based in or near the relevant delivery locations. A credible future competitor would therefore need to provide child-focused NHS dental capacity in the specific locality, with suitable premises, clinical staff and operational ability to deliver the required units of dental activity. The assessment also shows the importance of demonstrating that services can meet mandatory requirements and the five key provider-selection criteria, including quality and cost. Local presence, continuity of provision and evidence of satisfactory contract performance would be commercially relevant strengths.
