Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is planning to commission Tier 2 oral surgery services across North Wales. The work is divided into three geographical areas: West, Central and East. Providers would deliver oral surgery cases for patients in the relevant area. The West and East areas each anticipate around 260 cases a year; the Central area anticipates around 390 cases a year. The locations are within North Wales, with the Health Board based in Bangor. This is a health service requirement for providers able to deliver specialist oral surgery locally, rather than a purchase of dental products or equipment.

The process is at planning stage. The Health Board is gathering expressions of interest to understand market interest, assess provider capacity and capability, explore possible delivery models and inform commissioning decisions. This exercise is not itself a procurement and does not commit the Board to award a contract; it will help determine the appropriate route under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. The stated overall estimated value is £176,358. Payment is set at £193.80 per completed case. The three areas are separate lots, and a supplier may be awarded up to three. Services are intended to start on 1 January 2027. The Health Board’s stated EOI submission date is 30 October 2026 at 12 noon; this is a request for expressions of interest, not a tender deadline.

This is relevant to providers with the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver Tier 2 oral surgery in North Wales. Suppliers may consider whether they can serve one or more of the West, Central and East areas and manage the anticipated annual case volumes for each. The Board is using market engagement to understand provider capacity and capability and to identify potential delivery models, so responses can help shape its commissioning approach and the eventual route to market. The work is suited to established oral surgery service providers able to deliver completed cases and organise delivery in the relevant local area. The material provided does not set out particular professional accreditations, staffing levels or technical standards as requirements.
