Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board is seeking to secure primary care community dental services for children and adults who need special care. Patients access the service by referral. The work is community dental practice provision (CPV 85131000), rather than general dental services for patients accessing care without referral. Delivery is across six named London health centres: Parson’s Green Health Centre, Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing, St Charles Centre for Health and Wellbeing, The Medical Centre on Woodfield Road, Lisson Grove Health Centre and Soho Centre for Health and Care. The requirement concerns Lot 3, Inner North West London. The named provider is Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust.

The ICB has selected Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C. The published information describes this as an intention to award: the contract had not yet been formally awarded, and representations were due by 14 October 2026. A contract is recorded as active and signed on 28 September 2026. Its value is £48,375,761, an approximate figure based on annual 4% DDRB uplifts. The service is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an optional five-year extension to 31 March 2037 at the ICB’s discretion. Assessment weighted access, reducing health inequalities and choice at 30%; quality and innovation at 25%; value at 20%; integration, collaboration and sustainability at 15%; and social value at 10%. Price was not assessed.

For providers considering similar community dental work for this ICB, the outcome indicates that credibility depends on delivering primary care dental services for paediatric and adult special care patients through referral, across multiple community health-centre locations. The selected provider passed the basic selection and exclusion checks and met the required standard across the Provider Selection Regime’s five criteria. A competitive future provider would therefore need to demonstrate safe, high-quality care and a practical approach to improving access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice. Evidence of value, service integration, collaboration, sustainability and social value would also matter. The buyer’s assessment placed greatest weight on access and health inequalities, followed by quality and innovation; price was not assessed.
