## Summary

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board is overseeing a procurement process for a Level Two Oral Surgery service, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract titled "Level 2 Oral Surgery - Herts Walton Dental 26/29" is classified under the CPV code 85130000, relating to dental practice and services, and covers the UKH23 region. The procurement method employed is a direct award, bypassing the need for a prior call for competition. The contract, valued at £1,838,439, commenced on 1 April 2026 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2029, as a continuation of the existing service provided by the current contractor, who has consistently met the required KPIs and service quality parameters. This contract was approved on 19 March 2026, with the intention of maintaining current service levels without alteration from the previous contract.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant opening for businesses experienced in specialized dental services, particularly those equipped to handle complex oral surgical procedures beyond the capacity of general dental practices. Although the contract was awarded through a direct process to an existing provider, understanding the landscape of such tenders can help potential suppliers align and prepare for future opportunities. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a strong focus on healthcare services, particularly in dental practice with accreditation from regional dental authorities, would be well-positioned to engage in similar procurement discussions or network with the current provider, Watton Place Dental Surgery, to explore collaborative models or subcontracting opportunities. This would enhance their capacity and reputation, eventually aiding in their growth within the regional healthcare framework.

## Notice

Level Two Oral Surgery service provides dental treatment to patients which is beyond the scope of general dental practitioners and is performed by practitioners who have completed a clinical accreditation process led by the East of England Regional Chief Dental Officers and the Oral Surgery Managed Clinical Networks.

To confirm as per the PSR direct award process C, the existing provider satisfies the existing contract, delivering a good service, meeting all the KPIs with no quality concerns and good outcomes. No concerns have been raised by patients and the current contracting arrangements are not changing from the existing contract.
