## Summary

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board intends to award a contract for Orthodontic Services within the Hertfordshire region from 2027 to 2037, following a Direct Award Process C under the Provider Selection Regime regulations. The procurement, focused on services, aims to provide orthodontic care, such as braces and aligners, with no material changes to the current contractual arrangements. The decision-making process was concluded by the Primary Care Commissioning Committee, with no conflicts of interest declared. The contract, valued at £2,158,242.21, will commence on 1st April 2027 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2037, with the option to extend by three years. Representations by providers must be submitted before the deadline on 6th July 2026.

This procurement process offers significant growth opportunities for dental service providers, particularly those specialising in orthodontics who meet the selection criteria and technical ability to provide these services. SMEs in the health sector, such as Borehamwood Orthodontic Clinic Ltd, are well-positioned to benefit given their existing fulfilment of service requirements and demonstrated performance. This contract encourages expanding business scope by effectively catering to NHS referral-only services, aligning with strategic procurement goals focused on quality, integration, and social value enhancement. Service providers with comprehensive service portfolios that address health inequality and improve service accessibility stand to gain considerably from successful participation in this tender process.
