This procurement, initiated on 21st May 2020, falls within the health services sector, specifically dental practices. The process, which utilised an open procedure, concluded with the award of contracts for various lots across the Midlands, including cities such as Leicester and Boston. The contracts are set to commence on 1st March 2020 and will last for a period of seven years, with the possibility of extending for an additional three years. Notably, certain lots were not awarded due to insufficient submissions. Key suppliers include PK Patel Quality Services Ltd and Burton Dental Lodge, with the total contract value surpassing £23 million.
