Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in the Birmingham and Solihull area, within the West Midlands. The requirement covers delivery of orthodontic treatment under a patient dental services contract. The procurement is managed by the Office of the West Midlands on behalf of the Integrated Care Board. It concerns ongoing service delivery by an existing provider, rather than the supply of equipment or a one-off project. The relevant service category is orthodontic services (CPV 85131100). The selected provider is House of Dental Ltd, an SME based in Northfield, Birmingham. The requirement is therefore most relevant to dental and orthodontic providers able to deliver patient-facing orthodontic services in the Birmingham and Solihull area under NHS commissioning arrangements.

The process has reached the intention-to-award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process C without a prior call for competition. House of Dental Ltd was selected as the existing provider. The award decision was approved on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date, although the notice states that formal award remains subject to the PSR standstill and representations process. Representations were due by midnight on 7 September 2026 through the Atamis e-tendering portal. The contract is for seven years from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, with an option to extend for three years. Its stated lifetime value is £7,936,200.60, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. Evaluation used equal-weighted pass/fail criteria covering quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and choice, and social value; the lot's criteria allocated 100% to quality and 0% to price.

This procurement demonstrates sustained NHS demand for orthodontic services in Birmingham and Solihull and shows that continuity of an established local service was central to the selection decision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a reliable orthodontic clinical service, demonstrate satisfactory performance under an existing contract and show that it can maintain service quality for patients. Evidence should address quality and innovation, value, integration with other services, collaboration, long-term service sustainability, access, patient choice and the reduction of health inequalities. Social value must also be evidenced. The assessment relied on documented performance and evidence from the incumbent provider, so suppliers should be able to present robust outcome, quality, capacity and delivery records, alongside a clear plan for maintaining accessible orthodontic care across the commissioned area.
