## Summary

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a market engagement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) regarding Primary Dental Services and Emergency Caretaking (Dental) Services in England. This procurement project is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. Once established, the DPSs will serve all four commissioning regions of NHS England - North of England, Midlands and East of England, London, and South of England. Interested parties can find more information and submit their expressions of interest through the In-Tend e-procurement system.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those offering dental services and related emergency care solutions. The establishment of national DPSs will open avenues for smaller and specialised dental service providers to compete effectively. As NHS England is expected to structure these DPSs into specific lots, organisations that can deliver quality, reliable dental services will be well-placed to leverage this engagement for business growth.

## Notice

NHS England are proposing to establish national dynamic purchasing systems (DPSs) for primary dental services and emergency caretaking (dental) services. These DPSs, once established, will cover all of NHS Englands 4 commissioning regions (North of England, Midlands and East of England, London, South of England). It is likely that the ensuing DPSs will be lotted but the number and structure is currently being determined. As a result, NHS England are engaging the market to gather interest in the opportunities and to give the interested parties the opportunity to ask any relevant clarification questions about the described process. Interested organisations should express an interest and download any associated documentation via the In-Tend e-procurement system which can be accessed via the following link https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ scwcsu/aspx/Home
