## Summary

The NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board is in the process of awarding a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations for the Carlisle Urgent Dental Access Centre, with a focus on delivering urgent dental services. This procurement falls outside the scope of the typical procurement directives, relying instead on the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The notice published on 16 June 2026 marks the intention to award this contract, with a standstill period until 29 June 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £1.4 million, is expected to commence on 1 September 2026 and will last until 31 August 2028, located within the North East and North Cumbria region (UKC). The procurement method is limited, without prior competition, owing to direct awarding due to regulatory provisions.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the health sector, particularly those specialising in dental services and capable of managing urgent care facilities. The contract's focus on maintaining high standards aligns with the need for experienced providers familiar with the PSR framework, such as large health service providers. The awarding process, which gives precedence to quality and cost satisfaction criteria, suggests that businesses with a proven track record in delivering urgent dental services could leverage this contract to solidify their presence and expand their operations in the public healthcare domain. Additionally, the set geographical location of the project provides an avenue for local businesses to engage closely with regional health authorities, thus fostering stronger public-private partnerships in the healthcare industry.
