Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board is procuring continuing orthodontic services for patients in Evesham, Worcestershire. The service covers the provision of orthodontic care at Evesham Health Centre, Merstow Green, Evesham, Worcestershire WR11 4BS. This is a healthcare services requirement, classified under CPV 85131100. The procurement concerns one service lot and the modification does not change the nature or character of the services. The buyer is the NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board, based in Worcester. The service is delivered locally in Evesham by a community health centre, making this relevant to orthodontic providers able to operate from, manage or support a patient-facing service in Worcestershire.

The process has been awarded and the existing contract has been formally modified 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, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, for 36 months. Its total value is £4,574,621.84, including a three-year modification valued at £596,689.84; the stated contract value before modification was £3,977,932. The modification was made to maintain continuity while the long-term service plan is finalised. The decision 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. No conflicts of interest were declared.

For a supplier assessing future NHS orthodontic requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a sustained, patient-facing orthodontic service delivered from a community health centre in Worcestershire. A credible competitor would need the clinical capability, qualified orthodontic staff, governance arrangements and operational capacity to provide continuity of care at the required local site. The successful provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist organisation rather than only by a large national healthcare group. Experience of NHS or publicly commissioned orthodontic services, safe patient management, regulatory compliance and the ability to maintain service quality during longer-term commissioning changes would strengthen a future competing offer. The buyer's use of the Provider Selection Regime is also relevant to suppliers tracking NHS healthcare commissioning routes.
