Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board procured orthodontic services for patients in Worcestershire. The service covers the continued provision of orthodontic treatment, with delivery based at Merstow Green, Evesham, Worcestershire, WR11 4BS. The requirement is a healthcare service rather than goods or construction, classified under CPV 85131100. The named provider is Evesham Health Centre, an SME based in Worcestershire. The service sits within the NHS commissioning system and is managed by the Integrated Care Board. The requirement concerns one service package, covering the nature and character of the existing orthodontic service without change. Its purpose is to maintain continuity of orthodontic provision while the longer-term service plan is finalised and agreed.

This process has reached the award and contract-modification stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply. Evesham Health Centre was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, a 36-month modification period. The contract value is £4,574,621.84, comprising the existing contract value of £3,977,932 and a modification value of £596,689.84. The modification uses Regulation 13/1d to ensure continuity of service from the original provider. Decision approvals were recorded on 4 June, 10 June and 14 August 2026. No conflicts of interest were declared.

This award indicates sustained NHS demand for community-based orthodontic services in Evesham and Worcestershire, delivered by a local SME provider. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the clinical capability and operational capacity to provide orthodontic treatment continuously at the established Evesham location, while maintaining service quality throughout a multi-year healthcare arrangement. Experience of delivering orthodontic services in an NHS commissioning environment would help establish credibility, particularly where continuity for existing patients is important. Suppliers should also be able to work constructively with NHS commissioners while longer-term service plans are developed and agreed. The requirement is therefore most relevant to orthodontic practices, dental healthcare organisations and specialist providers with an established local delivery base and the resources to sustain ongoing patient services.
