This procurement is classified under orthodontic services and aims to enhance accessibility and reduce waiting times within the Integrated Model of Care across west Suffolk, east Suffolk, and north east Essex. The total annual budget is estimated at £350,000. The engagement deadline for interested parties to express their interest is set for 12:00 on 27th January 2017, with an engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in orthodontic and dental services to collaborate with the Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust.

Businesses that can provide comprehensive services, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment within the specified geographic areas, are encouraged to take part in this procurement process. ## Notice The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust (IHT) is commissioned via NHS England to provide Oral and Orthodontic services. IHT have developed a specification outlining the provision of acute and community elements of the service as an overall integrated model of care. To achieve this aspiration IHT are seeking to identify a community provider(s) who would deliver orthodontic services in west Suffolk, east Suffolk and north east Essex localities who are capable of delivering the community based activity, and who are willing to integrate with the existing acute services to provide end to end pathways. The aim of the integrated service will be to improve accessibility, reduce waiting times, and deliver a seamless integrated model of care. The total annual budget for the community element is anticipated to be 350,000 GBP. This is an estimation due to the potential for change associated with how the acute and community elements of provision are aligned over the lifetime of the contract. Community partners will be required to assess and undertake treatment in line with the scope of practice in the community, accessing Consultant advice and guidance where appropriate, and ensuring onward referral for patients who are not suitable for community management.
