## Summary

The NHS Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care Board is planning to award a contract for Orthodontic Dental Services in Suffolk. This contract is being put through a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as described in the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, set to commence on 1st April 2027 and lasting until 31st March 2037, has an estimated total value of £8,370,379.00. The procurement follows a limited method, meaning no prior publication of a call for competition was made. This process reflects the decision-making of the Norfolk and Waveney Board in ensuring continuity of orthodontic services under the PSR framework, with representations by providers to be submitted by 10th April 2026. Key aspects emphasised in the selection process include quality, value, integration, innovation, social value, and reducing health inequalities.

This contract offers significant opportunities for existing orthodontic service providers who can demonstrate a high level of compliance with specified standards and criteria. With a stable ten-year duration and a substantial contract value, it presents a growth opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those experienced in the delivery of orthodontic care. Companies capable of sustaining service quality and embodying innovations in healthcare delivery while contributing to the reduction of health inequalities and improving access will find this tender an attractive prospect. As the current process focuses on satisfying the direct award criteria based on past performance and service delivery success, businesses meeting these elements will be well-suited to compete effectively.
