Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is procuring general dental services across Gwent. The requirement covers community-based NHS General Dental Services for patients served by the health board, within the health services category. Delivery is across Gwent, including the Newport and surrounding Gwent areas. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The health board is the buying organisation, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership supporting procurement activity. The requirement is arranged as one lot and is intended to provide dental services across the health board’s area. This opportunity is relevant to dental practices, dental service organisations and other providers with the clinical capability and local operational presence needed to deliver NHS general dental care across Gwent.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the health board invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English using the eTender Wales system, with submissions due by 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2050, and renewal is provided for under GDS regulations. The estimated total value is £6,100,000. The award process was scheduled to begin on 7 October 2026 at 12:30, with bids opened at that time. The tender comprises one lot, variants are not permitted, and the bid validity period runs until 1 December 2027. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, while electronic invoicing is allowed.

The requirement suits established dental providers able to deliver NHS General Dental Services across Gwent over a substantial service period. Potential suppliers should have the clinical workforce, dental facilities, governance arrangements and operational capacity needed to provide community-based general dental care across the health board’s area. They will need to operate in line with the applicable GDS regulations and manage the continuity and scale of service expected across the region. The procurement is suitable for individual dental practices, groups of practices and larger dental service organisations, provided they can coordinate delivery across Gwent and meet the economic and technical selection requirements set for the competition. Suppliers must also be able to prepare and submit an English-language electronic tender.
