"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 12pm (midnight) on Monday 5th January 2026. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR.
Written representations need to be sent via the Atamis e-tendering portal, Project Reference: C389490 - General and Unscheduled Dental Services for Holt, Wells-next-the-Sea & Thetford
The award decision makers are Primary Care Commissioning Committee, NHS Norfolk and Waveney ICB and The Project Group.
The evaluation panel consisted of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board personnel: -
Senior Primary Care Commissioning Manager

Head of Finance Primary Care & Corporate
Senior Contract Support
Senior Nurse for POD
Quality Improvement Dental Nurse
Primary Care Commissioning Officer
Senior Special Projects Manager
Primary Care Commissioning Support Officer Pharmacy & Optometry
Senior Primary Care Delivery Manager
Senior Programme Manager Health Inequalities & VCSE Partnering
Commissioning Manager - Pharmacy and Optometry
Head of Primary Care Strategic Planning
Primary Care Commissioning Manager - Interface
Head of Primary Care Commissioning (Dental & GP)
Four potential conflicts of interest were flagged as part of this process. The four conflicts of interest were reviewed by the Project Leads who agreed that the four members who identified potential conflicts of interest were to remain as part of the evaluation panel.
The perceived conflicts of interest were mitigated against as no prior information or contractual information regarding the Provider was taken into consideration when evaluating. The panel members who did identify perceived conflicts of interest were never the sole voice on any scores as each question had more than one panel member and was the questions were discussed in depth as part of a robust moderation process.
The Basic Selection Criteria was scored on a Pass/Fail or For Information basis. The Key Criteria were a combination of Pass/Fail or weighted questions as follows:
1. Quality and Innovation 46.00%
2. Value 5.00%
3. Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability 6.00%
4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating Choice 33.00%
5. Social Value 10.00%
The weightings for the 5 key criteria were determined by the procurement panel to give appropriate relative importance to each of the sections equally in line with the commissioning expectations for the service. These were assessed on a scored basis (0-5), with the exception of the Value Key Criteria which was scored on a Pass/Fail basis, as per the evaluation criteria set out within the procurement documentation.
The awarded Provider has been selected as they have met all requirements of the Basic Selection Criteria and scored the highest overall out of 100% against the published Key Criteria (listed above).",
