## Summary

NHS England South West is planning a procurement process for NHS Tier 2 Services (Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery) in Gloucestershire. The procurement stage is currently in the "planning" phase and is anticipated to be published in the week commencing 30th September 2024. The intention is to commission additional oral surgery services, specifically focusing on Level 2 procedures, which may include some cases with sedation under certain circumstances. The procurement process is expected to be divided into lots, and the contract term will commence from the end of November 2024 and conclude on 31st March 2026, with a maximum contract value estimated at £300,000.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, oral surgery, and dental care. Providers with the capacity and accreditation to deliver high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective minor oral surgery services at primary care levels will find this tender especially relevant. The focus on reducing waiting times at secondary care centres and the option to manage dentally anxious or medically complex patients offer niches to fill within the local healthcare market of Gloucestershire. Small to mid-sized dental practices with expertise in Level 2 oral surgery procedures are encouraged to participate, as the aim is to create an equitable and enhanced service provision that meets the local healthcare demands.

## Notice
