The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with a focus on dental practice services classified under CPV code 85131000. This event is intended to gather feedback and inform future commissioning models for re-procurement of dental services in the East Midlands region, specifically in areas such as Mablethorpe, Spalding, and Skegness. The engagement event is scheduled for 31 March 2020, and registration closes on 20 March 2020 at 12 pm. Attendance is limited to two representatives per organisation. This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have the capability to deliver dental services. Engaging in this market event provides businesses with the chance to influence commissioning intentions and explore alternative service models, potentially leading to contracts in the re-procurement process later in 2020. By participating, businesses can enhance their visibility and connections within the healthcare sector while positioning themselves for future contracts arising from the insights gained during the engagement. ## Notice NHS England and NHS Improvement - Midlands would like to invite you to attend a Market Engagement Event on 31 March 2020,4.00 - 6.00pm in the Lincolnshire area for the re-procurement of the following services: Lot 1 - Mablethorpe (Extended Access): 18,800 UDAs; 3 extended access sessions each week over and above core hours Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm.
