UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited is procuring dental implants and associated components for the Defence Primary Health Care (DPHC) service. The requirement is for a three-year framework covering Nobel Biocare implant systems and the components designed for use with them. This is a supply contract, rather than a dental treatment service or construction project. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The products are specific to Nobel Biocare’s branded systems, so the requirement centres on supplying compatible implants and components rather than a general range of dental equipment. The framework is divided into one lot, which is considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nobel Biocare UK and Ireland Limited. The award is recorded as pending. The stated contract period runs from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2030, with a planned signature date of 1 February 2027. The awarded value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). Leidos used a direct award on a sole-source basis, citing the manufacturer’s exclusive distribution of its branded implant systems and the proprietary nature of the implants and compatible components. The procurement was conducted as a closed framework agreement. There was one lot, and the stated basis for award was the sole-source rationale rather than a competitive evaluation.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future demand, the award indicates a recurring requirement for dental implant systems and their compatible components within Defence Primary Health Care. The buyer’s stated reason for selecting Nobel Biocare was that it manufactures and solely distributes its branded systems, whose implants and components are proprietary and designed for use together. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would therefore need to offer an equivalent system with demonstrable compatibility and a route to supply the required branded products; general dental consumables capability alone would not match the stated basis of this award. The single-lot framework provides evidence of a defined, multi-year supply requirement rather than separate product packages. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs, although the direct award was based on the supplier’s exclusive product position.
