The tender is currently at the planning stage, with a key engagement deadline set for 5pm on 20 October 2017. Interested providers are invited to engage through a Request for Information (RFI) process, focusing on two geographical lots: Lot 1 covers Durham and Darlington and Lot 2 covers Tees, both requiring two delivery sites each. All communications regarding this tender are facilitated through the electronic tendering portal hosted by PROACTIS, with no hard copy documents being issued. This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in dental practice and related services to expand their operations within the North East of England. Businesses that provide dental surgical services, particularly those equipped to manage complex oral surgery needs in a primary care setting, will be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this process, providers can leverage the chance to collaborate with NHS England and deliver high-quality services to underserved patient populations, thus promoting growth and enhancing their market presence. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England (North) Cumbria and the North East who wish to commission Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery Services for patients with a defined need, who are unable to be treated by a General Dental Practitioner (GDP) within primary dental care and for whom the complexity of their treatment need does not necessitate care provision in a secondary care setting. The aim of the service will be to deliver high quality Intermediate Minor Oral Services (IMOS) through two lots: Lot 1 Durham and Darlington, 2 delivery sites required Lot 2 Tees, 2 delivery sites required. Further details on lot locations can be found in Section 4.2 of the draft service specification.
