## Summary

In a recent contracting process, the NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board (ICB) awarded a modification to an existing contract under the Provider Selection Regime (2023), specifically for Mandatory Dental Services. This involved the rapid commissioning of additional Units of Dental Activity in the Rushmoor area, facilitated by Farnborough Dental Centre Ltd. The contract modification was necessary due to recent contract terminations and aligns with the NHS priorities to recover dental activity. The procurement, classified under Dental-practice services, focused on services in the UKJ2 region. This process, completed without a prior call for competition due to its regulation-compliant nature, represents the contract's official modification, aligning with the Health Care Services regulations and reflects a contract value of £549,402, effective from 8th May 2024.

This procurement process offers business growth opportunities for NHS dental service providers capable of delivering increased dental activity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those specialising in dental-practice services, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders as they can leverage existing contracts for service expansions due to regulatory and strategic modifications. This scenario highlights the importance of readiness to adapt to rapid operational demands within regulated frameworks, providing avenues to secure recurrent business under public health contracts.

## Notice

This notice relates to the permitted modification of existing contracts under the Provider Selection Regime (2023), to enable additional access to Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) within NHS Frimley ICB on a recurrent basis, in response to recent contract terminations and in accordance with the NHS 2023/24 priorities and operational planning guidance requirement to "Recover dental activity, improving units of dental activity (UDAs) towards pre-pandemic levels". The Commissioner considers that the modifications are permitted by Regulation 13(1)(c) of the Provider Selection Regime (2023), where the modification has been made in response to external factors beyond the control of the authority and the provider, and that the modifications do not render the contracts materially different in character. The scope of the contract has not been extended as the services provided remain materially the same. This notice has been published in line with Regulation 13(4)(c) and Schedule 12 of the Provider Selection Regime (2023). Frimley ICB entered into a rapid commissioning process to secure additional Mandatory Dental Services activity. This process sought NHS dental providers to deliver increased activity in the form of additional, recurrent Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) as a variation to their existing contract for Mandatory Dental services, in one or more geographic priority areas. Priority areas were identified based on additional activity requirements. The priority area identified in Frimley ICB was 5B1-1 Rushmoor.
