Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured dental practice services under a Personal Dental Services (PDS) contract. The requirement covers dental services in the Neath locality within the health board’s area. The contract is intended to operate in line with the NHS (General Dental Services Contracts and Patient Charges) (Wales) Regulations 2026. The buyer is Swansea Bay University Health Board, which serves the Neath and Swansea Bay area. The contract description says the PDS arrangement is expected to convert to a General Dental Services contract after review at the end of its initial term. The service category is dental practice and related services, including dental-practice services.

The contract was awarded following a competitive process under the Provider Selection Regime Wales for health services. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. A transition period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, followed by an initial five-year term from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2032. The awarded contract value is £2,490,968.20. The selected suppliers are Neath DC Ltd and Paul John Jones (Neath DC Ltd), jointly named for the single contract. The procurement has one lot, covering dental services in the Neath locality. The award records a competitive process; no more detailed evaluation criteria are included in the available contracting information.

This award shows demand from Swansea Bay University Health Board for provision of dental services in Neath through a PDS contract, with delivery governed by the Welsh NHS dental-contract and patient-charge regulations. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need the capacity to deliver a sustained local dental service under the relevant Welsh arrangements, and to meet the operational and patient-service obligations of a health-board contract. The selected suppliers are recorded as Neath DC Ltd and Paul John Jones (Neath DC Ltd), indicating that the award was made to suppliers able to undertake the requirement as a dental-services provider. The contract’s planned review and possible move from PDS to General Dental Services also make familiarity with both contract models relevant to suppliers targeting this specific service and buyer.
