The successful service provider will deliver 25,000 Units of Dental Activity over a contract period starting from 1st October 2019 and extending until 30th September 2029, with the possibility of a three-year extension. The service will operate seven days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, ensuring accessibility for the entire community and good transport links. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the dental services sector, particularly those with experience in providing accessible healthcare solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to apply, as the buying organisation seeks qualified providers capable of offering both routine and urgent dental care. Companies that can demonstrate a multi-disciplinary approach and a commitment to community engagement will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden and GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England (Central Midlands) are inviting suitably qualified providers who are capable of delivering an 8-8 Dental service to cover the whole of Milton Keynes. The contract will be for 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. The service will be expected to encourage patients into routine care either at the provider's site or with other local dental practices. The Dental Practice will be open from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year including all Bank Holidays. 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. The service location must be fully accessible for all members of the community, with good transport links and ample parking facilities. As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful Bidder(s) for a period of 7 years [with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract for up to a further 3 years].
