Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) for patients in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, within the West Midlands. The requirement is to provide ongoing orthodontic treatment under a commissioned patient service. The Office of the West Midlands managed the process on behalf of the Integrated Care Board. The selected provider is Exclusive Orthodontics Ltd, an SME based in Shrewsbury, which has been delivering orthodontic services to patients in the area. The service is therefore focused on maintaining local orthodontic provision rather than supplying equipment, construction or general healthcare support. The requirement covers the existing service model and its continued delivery to patients across the named area.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Exclusive Orthodontics Ltd was selected through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, comprising an initial seven-year term with an option to extend by three years. Its stated lifetime value is £6,632,701.20, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The assessment used five equally important pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. The lot-level criteria weighted quality at 100% and price at 0%. One bid was recorded. The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This procurement shows sustained NHS demand for locally delivered orthodontic services in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, with a requirement large enough to support a substantial, long-term service operation. A credible future supplier would need to provide orthodontic treatment reliably to patients in the area and evidence strong performance under an existing service model. The buyer’s assessment gives equal importance to clinical quality and innovation, value, integration with other services, collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate robust basic selection compliance, effective patient access and continuity of care, partnership working with NHS commissioners, and documented evidence that their delivery model meets these requirements. The incumbent was an SME, indicating that specialist independent providers can compete for this type of NHS service.
