## Summary

NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB), acting on behalf of NHS England, has successfully concluded its competitive procurement process for Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) on the Isle of Wight, utilising the Provider Selection Regime. The process targeted various lots covering the Isle of Wight, including West Wight, with services expected to commence between April and September 2025. With a focus on dental practice and related services, the procurement aligns with the CPV code 85130000 and is categorized under services. Contract values range from £4,212,000 to £7,371,100, with a contract length of up to 10 years. Contracts under lots MDS 5C1-1 and MDS 5C1-1a have been awarded, with key dates including the contract signing on 25th March 2025, after an executive committee's approval on the same date. This award follows the standstill period that ended on 14th May 2025, and allows providers like Harunani & Co Group of Dental Surgeries T/A Dentistry For You and Damira Dental Studios Ltd to begin setting up services as per the agreed timelines with the Commissioner. The procurements were managed by the NHS South, Central, and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) with a structured approach to the evaluation of tenders based on integration, collaboration, and service sustainability, among other criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the dental services sector, especially those with expertise in NHS dental service provisions and who can deliver high-quality care with attention to vulnerable groups. The nature of the service requirement opens up avenues for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Harunani & Co and Damira Dental Studios Ltd to engage meaningfully within the healthcare sector. Such involvement not only drives business growth through long-term contracts but also establishes reputable partnerships with commissioning authorities such as NHS ICB. Eligible businesses boasting innovations in service delivery models and demonstrating a commitment to improving dental health across various socioeconomic demographics can position themselves as valuable contributors to achieving the NHS Long Term Plan's goals. The open procurement procedure allows for broad participation, facilitating a competitive environment beneficial for industry growth and development.
