Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South West London Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care community dental services for children and adults who need special care. Patients access the service by referral. The work covers clinical dental care delivered through sites in Thornton Heath, Croydon, Carshalton, Morden and Wallington. This is a community dental services requirement, classified as dental-practice services. The selected provider is King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The service is intended to provide care for patients whose needs are met through paediatric or adult special care dentistry, rather than unrestricted general dental services. Delivery is across the named community health centres and clinic locations in South West London.

The process has reached an intention-to-award decision under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C; the source states that the contract has not yet formally been awarded. King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was selected. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026, with a planned start of 1 April 2027 and a five-year initial term, plus an Authority-controlled five-year extension; the stated end date is 31 March 2037 if extended, or 31 March 2032 otherwise. The approximate total value over the potential ten-year term is £47,903,086, based on assumed annual DDRB uplifts of 4%. The selection assessed quality and innovation (25%), value (20%), integration and sustainability (15%), access and health inequalities (30%), and social value (10%); price was not assessed.

For providers considering this buyer’s future community dental requirement, the selected organisation demonstrates the credibility expected of a provider able to deliver primary care dentistry for both paediatric and adult special care patients on referral. Competing effectively would require the clinical capability and service capacity to cover a multi-site South West London footprint, with provision across Croydon, Carshalton, Morden, Wallington and Thornton Heath. The assessment placed greatest emphasis on improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating patient choice, alongside quality and innovation, value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability and social value. A credible provider would therefore need to show safe, high-quality care and the ability to work collaboratively and sustain accessible services for patients with special care needs. The selection also required passing basic criteria and exclusion checks under the Provider Selection Regime. млад
