Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board commissioned the provision of orthodontic services. The service covers orthodontic treatment delivered for NHS patients, with the requirement continuing without a change to its nature or character. The named service provider operates from Churchfields in Bromsgrove, and the contracted delivery location is also recorded there. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The buyer is an NHS integrated care board serving Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The work sits within the NHS commissioning environment and is managed as a continuing service arrangement with an established orthodontic provider. The relevant service classification is orthodontic services (CPV 85131100).

The process 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. Orthodontics for You was selected, with the award recorded as active. The award was approved by DAIG on 4 June 2026, the West Midlands Joint Commissioning Group on 10 June 2026 and the Joint Committee on 14 August 2026, when the contract was signed. The modified contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, for 36 months. Its total value is £6,668,468.05, comprising the existing contract value of £5,001,351 and a modification valued at £1,667,117.05. The modification uses Regulation 13/1d to ensure continuity while the long-term service plan is finalised.

This outcome demonstrates sustained NHS demand for commissioned orthodontic services in Bromsgrove and the surrounding Herefordshire and Worcestershire service area. A credible future competitor would need to provide orthodontic treatment at NHS service standards, maintain continuity for existing patients and operate reliably within an NHS commissioning relationship. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large healthcare group. Relevant businesses would therefore include established orthodontic practices and specialist healthcare providers with the clinical workforce, premises, governance arrangements, patient systems and operational capacity to deliver an ongoing NHS orthodontic service. Experience managing continuity during service changes would also be commercially relevant.
