## Summary

The NHS Devon Integrated Care Board is planning a procurement process for the provision of an Out of Hours Dental Service and Dental Access Helpline. This initiative, labelled under the Provider Selection Regime, utilises the most suitable provider process and is categorized under dental-practice services. The process is located in Devon, UK, specifically in the UKK30 region. As of the latest update on 14th May 2025, the procurement is at the tender update stage with previous planning activities noted on 12th May 2025. However, it is important to note that this procurement process has been abandoned as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Evaluation work had been initially scheduled to commence on 27th May 2025.

This tender opportunity, although now abandoned, was initially conceived as a chance for growth for businesses in the healthcare services sector, specifically those specialising in dental services. Organisations equipped to provide comprehensive dental care solutions and emergency dental services would potentially have been well-positioned to compete. NHS Devon Integrated Care Board, a body governed by public law, sought to engage with providers through a non-standard approach exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, indicating a strategic alignment with providers capable of innovative and adaptive service delivery in healthcare. Although direct opportunities related to this contract are no longer available, future similar opportunities may arise, encouraging businesses to remain engaged with procurement notifications from NHS Devon.
