Companies that offer innovative dental care solutions and have experience in public health contracts are particularly well-suited for this opportunity, which aims to enhance the delivery of dental services across the region. ## Notice The purpose of this Notice is to provide advance notice and advise the market of forthcoming procurements for high quality and safe dental services in the West Midlands. Contracts will be Personal Dental Services (PDS) Agreements. There will be a number of Lots, each Lot covering a defined geographical area and being a separate contract. Lots will be grouped into four separate Invitations to Tender (ITTs), to be published from July to October. The Lots are expected to cover the following areas: Redditch, Bromsgrove, Kidderminster, Droitwich, Worcester, Malvern Link, Ross on Wye, Evesham, Alcester, Stratford, Leamington Spa, Nuneaton, Balsall Common, Willenhall, Walsall, and Birmingham.

Approval for a longer term (7 years with up to 3 years extension; total 10 years maximum) is currently being sought and potential providers will be advised if this is agreed. Contract values will be published in the individual ITTs, but will be based on a fixed sum per Unit of Dental Activity (UDA).
