## Summary

The NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) has entered the award stage for a significant procurement process relating to General Dental Services across several localities in Suffolk and North East Essex. This procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime and involves service delivery in areas such as Bury St Edmunds, Brandon, Eye and North West Suffolk, Saxmundham, North East Suffolk, and Harwich. The overall aim is to enhance dental access given the population needs. The process initiated with planning and tender stages involving market engagement sessions and culminated in an intention to award on 22nd May 2026, followed by a standstill period ending on 8th June 2026. Key awarded contracts were signed on 22nd May 2026, marking the active involvement of service providers, including SGA Services Ltd, Damira Dental Studios Limited, and Dentistry For You, among others.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the dental services sector, particularly those specialising in dental-practice services and capable of meeting the requirements set by the SNEE ICB. Given the competitive open procurement method chosen by the Integrated Care Board, the process emphasized quality and innovation, integration, social value, and reducing health inequalities, making it ideal for businesses that excel in providing comprehensive healthcare services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), who have already proved successful in this competitive environment, have the added opportunity to grow by possibly obtaining contractual modifications for expanded services. The inclusion of varied localities provides distinct advantages for regionally based enterprises seeking to extend their service delivery footprint.
