## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Rural dentistry in Lincolnshire - market engagement questionnaire." This initiative aims to address the provision of dental services in Lincolnshire, primarily focusing on the Mablethorpe and Spalding areas. The engagement deadline for potential providers to submit their feedback via the market engagement questionnaire is set for 25th June 2021, at 2:00 PM. The procurement is categorised under dental practice and related services (CPV Code: 85130000) and is taking place in the East of England region.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in dental services, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies involved in general dental services, especially those with the capacity to operate in rural settings, would be well-positioned to participate in the re-procurement process following previous unsuccessful attempts. Engaging with this market opportunity could facilitate business growth and establish new contracts within the healthcare sector in Lincolnshire.

## Notice

Lincolnshire is one of the largest counties in England, with a land area of around 6,103 km2, and an estimated population of 718,808 in 2012. The county has a diverse geography with large rural and agricultural areas, urban areas and market towns and a long Eastern coastline. There are seven urgent dental care providers across Lincolnshire which are accessed via 111 signposting or patients contacting the practice. Providers for Lincolnshire general dental services have not been secured after two rounds of procurement. NHSE/I are keen to re-procure general dental services within the Lincolnshire areas of Mablethorpe and Spalding (fixed premises) and as such we would like to seek thoughts/feedback from potential providers to assist with this. We would therefore appreciate if you could complete the questionnaire available on EU-Supply: https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=UK (Quote/tender 44697 - Rural dentistry in Lincolnshire - market engagement questionnaire) and submit it by 2pm, Friday, 25th June.
