## Summary

In an effort to continue providing mandatory dental services in Poole, NHS Dorset ICB has awarded a one-year contract to the incumbent provider, Poole Dental Practice. The new contract, effective from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026, is valued at £179,788. This decision follows a strategic assessment and is facilitated by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), rather than falling under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was officially awarded on 15th October 2024 after being approved by the NHS Dorset ICB Primary Care Delivery Group, ensuring no conflicts of interest were present. The services fall under the dental practice and related services industry category and will be conducted in the Poole region of the UK.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in dental services, particularly those with a proven track record in the sector. Poole Dental Practice’s satisfaction of key criteria such as quality, innovation, value, and social value highlights the standards expected. This contract allows the selected provider to maintain and potentially extend their service offerings, promoting business growth through an established and reliable partnership with NHS Dorset ICB. Organisations capable of integrating and collaborating with local health initiatives and addressing health inequalities would be well-positioned to meet the contractual obligations and contribute positively to public health services in Poole.

## Notice

NHS Dorset ICB is looking to continue Mandatory Dental Services with the current provider in Poole following a change in the partnership status (deceased lead partner). As the contract in the whole is not changing, NHS Dorset ICB has proposed a new contract should replace the existing contract currently in place, to reflect the new partnership arrangement. All requirements under Regulation 6(5) have been met, including not breaching the considerable change threshold, and therefore direct award process C has been deemed the appropriate provider selection process. After conducting an assessment of the incumbent provider, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS Dorset ICB is content that the existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The service is anticipated to commence on the 1st November 2025 for a contract duration of 1 year until the 31st October 2026, with a total value of PS179,788.
