Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, within the West Midlands. The requirement covers continuing delivery of orthodontic care under a new patient dental services contract, using the existing service delivery model. The Office of the West Midlands is acting on behalf of the Integrated Care Board. The service is classified as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) and is a healthcare service rather than a goods supply, construction project or general consultancy. The named incumbent, Modwena Orthodontics Ltd, has been delivering orthodontic services to patients in the area and is the provider selected for the requirement. The opportunity relates to service provision across the local area rather than a single specified delivery address.

This process has reached the intention-to-award and recorded award stage. The proposed award is to Modwena Orthodontics Ltd through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. The notice records the contract as signed and active, although its description says formal award had not yet taken place. The contract is for seven years from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, with an option to extend by three years. Its stated lifetime value is £7,533,012.40, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The award date is 14 August 2026. Evaluation used five equally weighted pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and sustainability; access and health inequalities; and social value. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data.

This procurement shows an established local demand for orthodontic patient services commissioned by NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board. A credible future provider would need to deliver orthodontic treatment reliably across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, maintain continuity for existing patients and demonstrate a service model that performs to the commissioner’s requirements. The assessment placed equal importance on quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Providers should therefore be able to evidence clinical quality, effective performance management, collaboration with NHS services and local partners, accessible care pathways and wider community benefit. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale does not necessarily require a national corporate structure, but does require sustained local operational capability.
