## Summary

The procurement process for the 'Milton Keynes 8-8 Dental Service' was initiated by the NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of NHS England (Central Midlands). This tender falls within the healthcare industry, specifically classified under 'Dental practice and related services'. The procurement used an open procedure method and has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 2nd February 2020. The contract, valued at £6,485,000, commenced on 1st January 2020 and is set to run until 31st December 2029, with an option for a three-year extension. The services will be delivered in Milton Keynes, located in the South West of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare and dental services sectors. Companies that can provide multi-disciplinary dental care, as well as routine and unscheduled services, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, there is a focus on providers capable of delivering high-quality healthcare in collaboration with local hospitals and other care providers, making this an ideal prospect for both SMEs and larger organisations looking to expand their service offerings in the region.

## Notice

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden and GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England (Central Midlands) invited suitably qualified providers who were capable of delivering an 8-8 Dental service to cover the whole of Milton Keynes. The contract is to provide 25 000 Units of Dental Activity (UDAs). The 8-8 service will provide high quality healthcare using a multi-disciplinary approach and appropriate skill mix. This model of care for Dental Services is designed to offer routine dental care as well as unscheduled care for patients not linked to a dental practice. When local practices are closed the 8-8 dental practice will provide the unscheduled care service for Milton Keynes. It is expected that the practice will work closely with the A and E Department at Milton Keynes General Hospital (MKGH) other unscheduled care providers; 111; Directory of Services (DoS); local dental practices and the NHS England Local Office to ensure patients can access dental services promptly and appropriately. As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement has been established with the successful Bidder for a period of 7 years [with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract for up to a further 3 years].
