## Summary

The public procurement process involves North Of England Commissioning Support, which has awarded a contract titled "Out of Hours Urgent Dental Treatment Service - Sunderland." This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and is based in the North East of England. The procurement method utilised was a direct award via a single tender action, with the contract covering a period from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2021. The contract value amounts to £230,843, and the decision to directly award this contract was influenced by the urgent need for dental care services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the dental services sector, particularly those capable of delivering urgent emergency care. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete due to their agile capabilities in providing these vital services. Firms with proven expertise in managing dental treatment services and a readiness to respond swiftly to unforeseen circumstances will find this an advantageous avenue for business growth.

## Notice

Out of hours dental treatment services are a critical and significant part of the local North Cumbria and North East, unscheduled urgent and emergency dental care clinical pathway. These services offer the only means of accessing urgent and emergency dental care during out of hours weekday periods and across the full weekend/bank holiday extended periods. Under Regulation 72 (1) Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in any of the following cases: (c) where all of the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. This contract award is required due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent impact upon operational delivery and business operations. The current pandemic and events were not expected or foreseen by the contracting authority. Attempts to mitigate risks identified in advance of procurement were undertaken. There was an urgent need to ensure services are maintained for the patients' needs. In light of the above, and taking into account a previous unsuccessful procurement, approval was given by the Commercial Executive Group of Arden and GEM CSU, for a 12 month direct award to be awarded, therefore allowing for delivery of Out of hours dental treatment services from 01 October 2020.
