## Summary

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board has initiated the procurement process for orthodontic services under the title "Orthodontic Services Hertfordshire 2027/37". Classified in the services category, this tender focuses on orthodontic treatments such as braces, clear aligners, and retainers aimed at correcting bite alignment and teeth straightening. The procurement falls within the dental services sector, targeting the region UKH23, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. Following the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations, a direct award process was employed without a prior competitive bidding stage. The contract will commence on 1 April 2027 and extend until 31 March 2037, with a contract value of £1,496,137. Approved by the Primary Care Commissioning Committee on 18 November 2025, the contract award was formalised on 17 December 2025, following a standstill period earlier in December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the dental sector, particularly those offering orthodontic services. It is especially advantageous for providers who are experienced in handling NHS-contracts and can demonstrate compliance with PSR standards and criteria. As the contract is directly awarded, the focus for businesses is on maintaining quality standards efficiently rather than competitiveness in bidding. St Albans Orthodontic Centre, a small to medium-sized enterprise, has been identified as the active supplier, reflecting opportunities for other similar-sized businesses in the Hertfordshire region with the capability to deliver high-quality orthodontic care and meet contractual obligations. Links to buyer and supplier profiles suggest substantial opportunities for local providers to partner with the NHS and enhance service delivery through long-term agreements.
