## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services Limited is planning a procurement process titled “Market Engagement - NHS Greater Manchester ICB Oral Health Improvement Programme.” This initiative falls under the goods category, specifically dental kits. The objective is to appoint a supplier to provide and deliver dental resources, including fluoride toothpaste and age-appropriate toothbrushes, to approximately 33,584 children living in absolute poverty across the ten localities of Greater Manchester: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan. The contracting authority is currently in the planning stage, with future notices expected by 6 January 2025. The total value of the contract is estimated at £250,000.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the dental products industry with the capacity to handle large-scale orders and distribution. Businesses with experience in healthcare supplies, especially those familiar with public health initiatives and community support programmes, would be well-suited to compete. Participation in this project could enhance the supplier’s portfolio and strengthen their market position within the healthcare sector, given the prominence and reach of the NHS Greater Manchester ICB. The market engagement process signifies a collaborative approach, offering potential suppliers the chance to influence the service specifications and commercial model before the tender is officially released.
