## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in the Birmingham and Solihull area of the West Midlands. The requirement covers continuing delivery of orthodontic treatment through a patient service, under a healthcare services contract. The Office of the West Midlands is acting on behalf of the ICB. The procurement is classified as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) and falls within the services category. The existing provider, Sutton Orthodontic Centre Limited, has been delivering orthodontic services to patients in this area and was selected for the new arrangement. The opportunity is therefore relevant to orthodontic providers able to deliver NHS patient services across Birmingham and Solihull, including providers with suitable clinical premises, staff and service infrastructure in the area.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Sutton Orthodontic Centre Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The award was made under the Provider Selection Regime 2023 using Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The contract starts on 1 October 2026 and runs for seven years to 30 September 2036, with an option to extend for a further three years. Its total lifetime value is £3,801,158.33 over ten years, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The assessment used five equally weighted pass/fail criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and sustainability; access, health inequalities and choice; and social value. Quality carried 100% of the stated award weighting, with price at 0%.

This award indicates established NHS demand for long-term orthodontic services in Birmingham and Solihull and shows that a small or medium-sized specialist provider can satisfy the requirement. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate safe, consistent orthodontic treatment, sufficient clinical capacity and reliable performance for the local patient population. Evidence should cover quality and innovation, value for money, integration with commissioners and other services, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and wider social value. Providers should also be able to evidence delivery against basic selection requirements and show that their current or comparable service model achieves the required outcomes. The direct-award route and incumbent-provider rationale make continuity, performance evidence and local service knowledge particularly important to competing when this requirement returns.
