The initiative is being managed by the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, with a primary focus on the health and social work services industry. Key market briefing meetings will be held across various locations in the South of England, including Guildford, East Grinstead, Ashford, Cornwall, Exeter, Taunton, Chippenham, Gloucestershire, Dorchester, Winchester, and Oxford, between 16th October and 15th November 2017. Interested parties must register their interest for attendance by 23rd February 2018, marking the engagement end date. This procurement opportunity offers significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in orthodontic services. Companies that are well-suited to compete include those already registered on the Dynamic Purchasing System, as well as new providers looking to enter the NHS service framework. The market briefing events will provide insights into service requirements, local health needs analyses, and proposed pricing strategies, allowing businesses to tailor their applications strategically. Those attending will benefit from networking opportunities and guidance on the procurement process, enhancing their chances of successful engagement in future NHS contracts. ## Notice A number of contracts to provide orthodontic services in the South of England will be coming to an end on 31st March 2019. NHS England will be holding a procurement process to award new contracts to provide orthodontic services from 1st April 2019. NHS England South will be hosting market briefing meetings for the upcoming procurement of orthodontic services across the South of England. The meetings have been scheduled for the following dates and locations:- Date Location Time 16th October 2017 Guildford 19:00 - 21:00 17th October 2017 East Grinstead 19:00 - 21:00 18th October 2017 Ashford 19:00 - 21:00 30th October 2017 Cornwall 19:00 - 21:00 31st October 2017 Exeter 19:00 - 21:00 1st November 2017 Taunton 19:00 - 21:00 2nd November 2017 Chippenham 19:00 - 21:00 7th November 2017 Gloucestershire 19:00 - 21:00 8th November 2017 Dorchester 19:00 - 21:00 9th November 2017 Winchester 19:00 - 21:00 15th November 2017 Oxford 19:00 - 21:00 *We are in the process of finalising venues for events, we will advise you of these when you have registered Events have been arranged to take place in the evening to avoid any clash with clinical sessions. At the events we will share the outcome of the health needs analysis undertaken across the South and how that has influenced the location and proposed activity in specific areas. It is also an opportunity to share the results of national work in determining future pricing strategy for these services and how this can be applied locally. Details of the Dynamic Purchasing System (being used to procure these services) and how the procurement and selection process will operate will also be provided. Each meeting will have a focus on the services required locally but there will also be an opportunity to receive information on services from wider areas should any provider be unable to attend the event in their locality. For providers who have already registered on the Dynamic Purchasing System it will be an opportunity to consider, taking account the proposed contracts size and location, whether their application is still applicable or whether they would wish to reapply in a more appropriate configuration. The events are open to all providers who may want to deliver NHS orthodontic services in the future. If you would like to attend any of the events please register your interest by sending an email to scwcsu.orthosouth@nhs.net providing your company name; attendee(s) name(s) and contact phone number by no later than a week before the event date you wish to attend. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db59f420-c503-422e-ad98-88bea2ce1ce4 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 3NX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 29 Sep 2017 at 13:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db59f420-c503-422e-ad98-88bea2ce1ce4 - 26 Sep 2017 at 09:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db59f420-c503-422e-ad98-88bea2ce1ce4 - 22 Sep 2017 at 15:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db59f420-c503-422e-ad98-88bea2ce1ce4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db59f420-c503-422e-ad98-88bea2ce1ce4 29th September 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
