This procurement is aimed at improving access to NHS dental services, targeting regions with lower current access levels. The tender, which is classified under health and social work services (CPV code: 85000000), is currently in the planning stage. The expression of interest deadline is set for 27th March 2020, with the contract period commencing on 1st June 2020 and extending until 31st May 2025. The total resident population of Hywel Dda is around 384,000, projected to increase to 399,000 by 2026. This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for dental service providers looking to expand their services in underserved areas. Businesses capable of either enhancing existing practices or setting up new locations would be particularly well-suited for this procurement. The NHS SBS is keen to collaborate with both established and emerging providers to address the increasing demand for dental services in Hywel Dda, specifically aimed at improving public health outcomes and making high-quality dental care more accessible to the community. ## Notice The Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) provides a full range of primary, community, mental health and acute hospital services across the three counties of Hywel Dda (Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire). Mainly rural in character, Hywel Dda covers an area of approximately 2,213 square miles (5,728 square kilometres) and a total resident population of approximately 384,000. It is anticipated that by 2026 the population will increase to 399,000. Hywel Dda hosts numerous popular tourist destinations particularly along its coastline, which can significantly increase the resident population during the summer months. Hywel Dda has towns situated in each county, the main centres being Carmarthen, Llanelli, Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Haverfordwest and Fishguard. The Health Board is responsible for the commissioning of NHS Primary Care Dental Services across Hywel Dda and the NHS Primary Care Dental Services are complemented by a Hywel Dda Community Dental Service and Specialist Dental Services provided by the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board. The current patient access levels to NHS dental services within the Health Board area stands at 46% compared with an average access level of 56% across Wales as a whole. HDUHB is therefore seeking to commission the provision of further additional dental services aimed at improving access levels across the region, in particular in those areas identified with low access rates and/or high oral health needs. The Health Board is interested in receiving Expressions of Interest from new or existing Providers wishing to either increase service levels at an existing practice or establish services at a new practice. The objectives of this Dental Procurement scheme are: * To introduce additional capacity targeted towards increasing the proportion of the population able to access NHS Dental Services on a regular basis * To improve the accessibility to primary care dental services for patients seeking an NHS dentist * To ensure that provision should be safe, effective, of high quality and available equitably to the whole population. In order to deliver these objectives HDUHB wishes to procure additional dental services targeted at those areas of Hywel Dda identified with existing low levels of access to dental services. In total the Health Board expects to commission in the region of an additional 19,000 UDA. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cd29453-612d-4404-a2ce-988aceebd725 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2020 - 31 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 2UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85130000 - Dental practice and related services - 85131000 - Dental-practice services ## Release History - 5 Mar 2020 at 13:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cd29453-612d-4404-a2ce-988aceebd725 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cd29453-612d-4404-a2ce-988aceebd725 5th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 Project Reference 38878 on EU Supply https://nhssbs.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=NHSSBS ## Notice URLs - https://nhssbs.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=NHSSBS ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
