Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board commissioned orthodontic services for patients in the West Midlands, with delivery at Central Orthodontics, 341 Bearwood Road, Smethwick. The requirement covers the continued provision of orthodontic care rather than a change in the nature or character of the existing service. It is a healthcare services contract managed by the integrated care board, with orthodontic treatment delivered from the named Smethwick location. The service sits within NHS commissioning arrangements and is relevant to orthodontic practices and providers able to deliver patient-facing orthodontic services in this locality. The selected provider, Mr JS Nandhra Central Orthodontics, is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract has been formally modified under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services; the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply. Mr JS Nandhra Central Orthodontics was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The active contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its total value is £25,989,661.93, comprising the original contract value of £23,679,469.76 and a two-year modification worth £2,310,192.17. The modification provides continuity while the long-term service plan is finalised. DAIG approved the decision on 4 June 2026, West Midlands Joint Commissioning Group on 10 June 2026, and the Joint Committee on 14 August 2026.

This award demonstrates substantial NHS demand for orthodontic services in Smethwick and the wider West Midlands, delivered through a local clinical provider. A credible future competitor would need to provide safe, reliable orthodontic treatment from an appropriate local base, maintain continuity for existing patients and support NHS commissioning requirements. The requirement also indicates the importance of operational capacity over an extended service period: providers would need enough qualified clinical staff, facilities, equipment and administrative systems to sustain patient-facing care without disruption. The successful organisation is an SME, showing that the service can be delivered by a specialist independent practice rather than only by a large healthcare group. Experience of NHS-funded orthodontic provision and continuity planning would strengthen a competing provider’s position.
