The tender aims to deliver dental services across two specific lots: Lot 1 covering Ealing and Hounslow, and Lot 2 covering Bromley. The procurement method is an open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with a total contract value of £3,924,000 and a planned contract period starting from 1st April 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2024. Expressions of Interest had to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 11th July 2019, with the deadline for bid submissions set for 12:00 noon on 12th July 2019, making it essential for interested parties to have engaged in the process promptly. This tender provides significant opportunities for dental service providers, particularly those keen to expand their offerings in London. Businesses specialising in endodontic services, especially those with the capacity to deliver under NHS standards, should consider this as a viable growth prospect. Given the requirement for compliance with the NHS service specifications, suitable candidates would be those with established experience in providing high-quality dental treatments and the ability to manage complex patient pathways effectively. This is an opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises within the dental sector looking to make a substantial impact in their local healthcare market. ## Notice NHS England and NHS Improvement (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "The Authority") invites Expressions of Interest (EoIs) and completed Invitation to Tender (ITT) submissions from all suitable providers, who are capable of delivering Level 2 Endodontic Services in London. The NHS England and NHS Improvement document "Securing Excellence in Commissioning NHS Dental Services" (February 2013) referenced the need for the commissioning of care pathways which would be underpinned by the nationally-defined Levels of Complexity. The purpose of this procurement is two-fold: to commission a Level 2 endodontic service in Ealing, Hounslow and Bromley which offers patients a consistent pathway in line with all the other London regions and to alleviate 18-week Referral to Treatment pressures in London secondary care (hospital) settings. Triaging arrangements for the new service will be via the London secondary care restorative providers, ensuring full consultant-led (Levels 3a / 3b) oversight of the referrals process. The Authority intends to commission these services through 2 contracts (2 Lots), Lot 1 - Ealing and Hounslow and Lot 2 - Bromley. Details of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that relate to the Level 2 endodontic service are details within the service specification. In addition to this, the NHS England and NHS Improvement (London Region) proposed Accreditation of Level 2 Performers is also detailed within the service specification. Contracts will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, with an optional extension for a further one (1) year. Therefore, the maximum duration of this contract, if the extension option is taken up it will be four (4) years. The contractual framework for the Level 2 endodontic service will be the national Personal Dental Services (PDS) agreement. Contract values are stated for the four years.
