## Summary

The NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for Community Dental Services in Wolverhampton to The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust without prior publication of a call for competition. This process is governed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the relevant provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The contract is valued at £12,145,521 and will span a period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2033. Parties interested in making representations must contact the relevant decision-makers by 13 March 2026. The procurement has reached the award stage with an active status, and the standstill period commences following the publication of this notice.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the dental services industry who aim to establish or expand their services within Wolverhampton. Such opportunities are particularly beneficial for organisations that can adhere to stringent healthcare criteria and service excellence. Although the incumbent provider, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, meets the current service standards and has been identified as the preferred supplier, businesses specialising in dental practice and related services could potentially compete in future opportunities. Organisations possessing robust service delivery frameworks and performance metrics similar to those of the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust could be well-positioned to participate in future procurement processes under similar regimes.
