## Summary

The NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for "Special Care and Paediatric Dental Services" to HCRG Care Community Services Ltd, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract will span a 24-month period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with a total value of £10,992,117.76. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically dental practice and related services, classified under CPV code 85130000. The geography of service delivery is the Surrey Heartlands region in the United Kingdom. The procurement is at the award stage, having bypassed the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015 directives through a direct award process C, typically used for established providers who already meet existing service standards.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for enterprises experienced in healthcare services, specifically in complex dental care. Businesses adept at offering tailored dental solutions, suitable for patients with special needs or complex medical histories, can benefit from such contracts. Firms with capabilities in managing integrated dental care pathways, and those that can provide domiciliary, hospital-based, and community dental services are the ideal contenders. Moreover, the tender underscores the instrumental role of innovation in service delivery, through elements such as digital records and virtual consultations, which suggests that tech-savvy companies and those focusing on digital health innovations could find ample opportunities in such sectors. By ensuring equitable access and reducing health disparities, participating businesses can enhance their reputation within community health frameworks and contribute effectively towards public health objectives.

## Notice

Special Care and Paediatric Dental Services provide essential dental care for patients who cannot be treated in general dental practice due to complexity. Special Care Dentistry focuses on individuals with additional needs, such as physical or learning disabilities, complex medical conditions, severe mental health issues, sensory impairments, or extreme dental anxiety. These patients often require tailored treatment plans, longer appointments, and specialist facilities, including sedation or general anaesthetic (GA) options. Care is delivered in community clinics, hospitals, and sometimes domiciliary settings for housebound patients, ensuring equitable access for vulnerable groups. Paediatric Dentistry provides specialist care for children with advanced or complex dental needs, including extensive tooth decay, developmental anomalies, dental trauma, and cases requiring sedation or GA. These services are delivered by specialist paediatric dentists in hospital or community settings and emphasise early intervention, prevention, and family education. Both services are critical in reducing health inequalities and supporting integration with wider health and social care pathways. The contract to be awarded to the HCRG Group includes provision of Emergency and Domiciliary services within this provision.

These patients often require tailored treatment plans, longer appointments, and specialist facilities, including sedation or general anaesthetic (GA) options. Care is delivered in community clinics, hospitals, and sometimes domiciliary settings for housebound patients, ensuring equitable access for vulnerable groups. Paediatric Dentistry provides specialist care for children with advanced or complex dental needs, including extensive tooth decay, developmental anomalies, dental trauma, and cases requiring sedation or GA. These services are delivered by specialist paediatric dentists in hospital or community settings and emphasise early intervention, prevention, and family education. Both services are critical in reducing health inequalities and supporting integration with wider health and social care pathways. These services are commissioned together because they share similar characteristics and infrastructure requirements. Both require dentists with advanced training and overlapping clinical skills, such as managing complex medical conditions and delivering treatment under sedation or GA. They are typically delivered in the same clinical environments, which avoids duplication of facilities and resources. Combining the services under one contract supports efficiency, integration, and streamlined referral pathways, while simplifying commissioning and monitoring processes. This approach ensures consistent standards and equitable access across Surrey Heartlands. Notably the HCRG Group contract also includes provision of Emergency and Domiciliary services. It is intended to award a contract to an existing provider following direct award process C from 01/04/2026 - 31/03/2028. The lifetime value of the contract is PS5,496,058.88. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
